[Lady Peinaili de Montrève]

"The Sundarian Federation votes for Fecta Legin of the Teprogrenaian Philosophical Consult, since I cannot in good conscience vote for myself."

[Senator Ght'Twwf of the Socialist Republic of Niom]

"The Socialist Republic of Niom expresses its desire for an impartial selection of Supreme Judges. Since our Assistant Bureaucrat Omrim of the Socialist Republic of Niom has been nominated as option 5, we can not vote in favour of option 5. A vote by the Socialist Republic of Niom in favour of any other candidate would in part be motivated by our desire not to vote in favour of a citizen of the Socialist Republic of Niom.

Therefore the Socialist Republic of Niom abstains."

[Chancellor Dewa Lanadi]

"Under article 6 of the Union voting laws I am leaving this vote open for another day to allow currently absent delegates to cast a vote."
