To be elected consul by the unanimous votes of the people, cunctis populi suffragiis consulem declarari: to be unanimous, concinere: conspirare: consentire, or (stronger) ad unum omnes consentire: with reference to this point, all are unanimous, hoc inter omnes convenit; in hoc omnes consentiunt; omnes in ea re unum atque idem sentiunt: not to be unanimous, dissentire: discrepare (de re). [Vid: UNANIMOUSLY.] The opinions were unanimous, omnium in unum congruerunt sententiae.
