1.
a. The formal taking of individual votes, as a method of electing to an office or dignity, or of deciding some question proposed to a deliberative assembly; an instance of this procedure.Now chiefly in Canon Law. In English municipal and university procedure, ‘scrutiny’ was commonly resorted to only when the result of show of hands or acclamation was not accepted, so that in some examples it is doubtful whether the word partakes more of this sense or of sense 2c. ‘In Oxford University, the Latin formula Fiat scrutinium, “let a scrutiny be made”, is still employed, but the English word is rarely if ever used with reference to present practice.’ ( N.E.D.)
