I am not certain of this, but I think they are not. I don't live there, so I cannot be certain.

That's how I see things, too. Those who have not voted should not count towards the total number of votes.

This is very true. However, that was only a minor point in my original concern. Again, my bigger concern is this: why are abstentions being ignored, if it's an option? If this isn't a majority decision, why even mention abstaining at all?
