A motion of censure differs from a motion of no confidence. Depending on the structure of the entity in question, a vote of no confidence may result in the expulsion of the Council of Ministers or other officials, as well as the separation of most of the administrative branch's leadership. 'Censure,' on either side, is used to express dissatisfaction and does not require ministers to quit. A motion of censure can be brought against a single minister or a group of ministries. In contrast, relying on the national constitution, a no-confidence motion may be more targeted on the entire administration. Again, depending on the regulations in effect, censure motions may be necessary to disclose the grounds for the petition, but no-confidence motions may not.

A motion of no confidence, vote of no confidence, or no-confidence motion, also known as a motion of confidence or vote of confidence, is a statement or vote about whether a person in a position of responsibility (government, management, etc.) is still deemed fit to hold that position, for example, because they are inept in some way, fail to fulfill their obligations or make decisions that other members believe are detrimental. The legislative motion shows the head of state that the elected Parliament has confidence in one or more members of the appointed administration, or has lost confidence in them. In certain nations, passing a no-confidence motion against a single minister necessitates the minister's resignation. If the minister in issue is the prime minister, most other officials must usually resign as well.
