This article is about the bell that is rung in certain legislatures. For the Pink Floyd album, see The Division Bell.
In some of the Commonwealth realms, a division bell is a bell rung in or around parliament to signal a division (a vote) to members of the relevant chamber so that they may participate.[1] A division bell may also be used to signal the start or end of parliamentary proceedings, and often produces different sounds or coloured lights to identify the chamber affected.[2][3]
