Attendance counts the meetings held while each member was on the borough council. "Voted against the majority" counts no votes on motions that passed and yes votes on motions that failed. Tap a name to see every vote.
Many votes are taken by voice. When the minutes say a vote was unanimous, everyone present is shown voting yes. When they name members who voted no or abstained, everyone else present is shown voting yes. When they give only the result, individual votes are shown as not recorded.
