Notes: Where the transcript did not include a full roll-call record for every vote, this summary reports the outcomes explicitly stated in the meeting record or, where a tally was given, the tally as read aloud by meeting participants. If a specific roll-call was not clear in the transcript, this summary does not invent individual vote attributions.
