show of hands

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vote' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mitt might be put up by several members?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'mitt' could be 'hand' (synonyms) and 'hand' is located in the answer.
'by' could be 'of' and 'of' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'shows' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for show of hands that I've seen before include "At end of poker round" , "Vote for possible action" , "Public vote" , "Form of voting" , "at end of poker betting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
