"abstain  /əbˈsteɪn/verb
1.   restrain oneself from doing or enjoying something:"she intends to abstain from sex before marriage"
2.  formally decline to vote either for or against a proposal or motion:"forty-one voted with the Opposition, and some sixty more abstained"synonymsnot vote, decline/refuse to vote, informal:sit on the fenceantonymsvote

So an abstention is NOT a vote
