الامتناع عن التصويت abstention

Explanation:
The word "abstention" alone is suffice here. The wider context will make it obvious that the subject is voting. One would not mention the voting part in an English legal text

Each member of the Disciplinary Committee must vote in favour or against a motion. Abstention is not allowed. The vote will be decided by a simple majority.

Given the policy vector q(¼); elections are held and each voter votes sincerely for the policy that she likes most. Abstention is not allowed.
