abstention
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
http://www.bilkent.edu.tr/hukuk/disE3.htm.
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.
http://www.cepr.org.uk/meets/wkcn/1/1450/papers/Levy.PDF.
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.

Nesrin
: "Abstention" alone is usually enough, esp. if voting is mentioned in the preceding sentences, as in the examples you provided. If it isn't and the context is not so clear, abstention could have more meanings than one.

if it's from a contract as is says above, then the wider context will make it clear that the subject is voting. There is no need to repeat the term and it would actually look sloppy.
