Explanation:

Here’s how this all breaks down:

- Option 1: Voice vote

A voice vote is just how members of Parliament say “yes” or “no” out loud to quickly decide on a motion. It’s a voting method, not a way to fund government expenses.

- Option 2: Vote-on-account

This is your correct answer. When a new Parliament hasn’t passed the Budget yet, the government needs money to keep basic administration running—think salaries, day-to-day expenses, essentials. Parliament passes a “vote-on-account” to let the government withdraw money from the Consolidated Fund for a limited period, usually a few months, until the full Budget gets passed.

- Option 3: Vote-on-adjustment

No such thing exists in parliamentary procedure. This isn’t a real tool for government spending.

- Option 4: Electronic vote

An “electronic vote” is just a way of recording votes—using machines or electronic systems. Again, this is a method of voting, not a financial stop-gap.

So yes, “vote-on-account” is the real mechanism here. It’s practical, necessary, and keeps the government from grinding to a halt while the big financial debates play out.
