Against: 174 · Abstained: 70 · Not voted: 0

50.1% of those voting must vote in favour (actual = 24.0%)

Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Anarchist League	93	No	The bill is a wholly disgraceful proposal. It should and will never be allowed to pass by the AL.
Democratic Union	81	No	Democratic Union supports secular education, but this bill goes too far. Lowering the school-leaving age to 14 would weaken opportunity for young people, while banning regulated homeschooling unnecessarily restricts family choice. We support strong, secular education without sacrificing freedom or opportunity.
Light Greens Proposer	55	Yes	No reason given
Progressive Future	70	Abstain	I am neutral mostly so for now it's an upstate
