Description
Map yes, no, abstain, absent, and not-voting to Y, N, A, X, and NV.
Quorum, veto, delegation, and limit checks apply declared organizational rules to supplied records. Numeric consistency is separate from establishing actual authority or valid procedure.
Map yes, no, abstain, absent, and not-voting to Y, N, A, X, and NV.
When to use this tool
Use International Vote Abstention Code when you need a reproducible check against explicit governance inputs.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter vote. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read code, countsAsCastYesOrNo. Inspect countsAsCastYesOrNo before interpreting the associated values.
Map yes, no, abstain, absent, and not-voting to Y, N, A, X, and NV. Mark countsAsCastYesOrNo only for yes and no.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- The mapping is an explicit implementation convention; quorum, vote validity, organizational rules, and resolution passage are not determined.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the governing policy and verify membership, delegation, and decision records with the responsible authority.
