This color classification describes the measure’s effect, not the literal button pressed. On a motion to reject, raw “for” can mean opposing chat scanning.

Every unresolved non-vote is matched against the official attendance register for the same sitting. “Not recorded present” is not proof of physical absence or its reason.
