Nov 5, 2016 at 23:16 comment added user26184 Absent usually means not present in the session. If the member is present, but abstains from voting, this is somehow counted, usually with the vote of, literally, 'present'. That all assumed that there was a vote count in the first place, which it sounds like there was. Mileage varies with parliamentary rules.
