Vote tally
Live tally across each chamber. Weighted by seats held.
Senate
FailedFor: 104 / 348 seats (29.9%)
Against: 148 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 96
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Democrats (D) | 0 | Yes | This is a little bit of an overreach but voters seem to like it |
| The Greens Of Marianne Proposer | 104 | Yes | No reason given |
| The Marianne Liberty Alliance | 69 | No | This is an extreme violation of religious and individual liberty. |
| The National Refoundation Front | 79 | No | Reversing consent in organ donation to impose a presumed consent system (opt-out) is an unacceptable infringement on bodily integrity and individual freedoms. This text assumes that citizens' bodies belong by default to the state or the collective, which is profoundly contrary to our vision of individual responsibility and personal sovereignty. The RNF defends the free and informed choice of every citizen, not default state appropriation. Ethics and generosity must never be dictated by administrative coercion! |
