Description
Accept yes, no, abstain, absent, or paired and mark countedInYesNo only for yes or no.
Quorum, veto, delegation, and limit checks apply declared organizational rules to supplied records. Numeric consistency is separate from establishing actual authority or valid procedure.
Accept yes, no, abstain, absent, or paired and mark countedInYesNo only for yes or no.

}Limitations and assumptions
- This labels a recorded status without choosing quorum, abstention treatment, pairing validity, or a voting outcome.
- 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.
