A conscience vote or free vote is a type of vote in a legislative body where legislators are allowed to vote according to their own personal conscience rather than according to an official line set down by their political party.

Hanson-Young said her gay marriage bill would "sit on the tables" until the major parties allowed a conscience vote on gay marriage.
MPs vote freely (conscience vote). They simply do not represent those who voted for them or the members of their constituency (district) only. They are under no obligation to subscribe to the views of their electors or else Parliament would not be a representative institution of the people but rather an institution representing special or local interests and lobbies. http://www.hellenicparliament.gr/en/Enimerosi/Sychnes-Erotiseis Καλά...
