⚠️This was a close vote — the margin was small relative to the votes cast.

Close vote analysis

The margin was 17 votes. 56 MEPs did not vote.

Could absences have changed the outcome? The number of absent MEPs (56) was larger than the 17-vote margin, so absences were numerically significant.

Absences larger than the margin are numerically significant but do NOT imply the outcome would have changed. That would require modelling how each absent member would have voted, which this analysis does not do.
