“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

The majority voted against an amendment to an original motion, which means it was unsuccessful.

Original motion text

At the end of the motion, add "and the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024 and the provisions of the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Communications) Bill 2024 not be referred to a committee."
