I see that some refs lean more towards 挙げる instead of 上げる for this expression, but there's not clear restriction. At least I don't see it and the ngrams don't indicate it either.

I think it's better left unmarked.

https://meaning-
dictionary.com/「手を挙げる」と「手を上げる�%8
Dの違いとは?/#toc5
"「あのプロジェクトへの参加に手を挙げる企業は数多いだろう」
多数の企業が参加して行われるような大型のプロジェクトを対象として使っている例です。

ここでの「手を挙げる」は、それに「参加する」と表現しています。

尚、あくまで「参加するという意志の表明」なので、その後で思い直し、やはり参加は取り止めるということもあるかも知れません。"
