No. Someone choosing not to  vote is not an abstention. An abstention is only when someone indicates th y are refusing g to cat a vote for either party. It's easier to understand in the cont of a meeting. Of the people who are physically present,some vote and some do not. This who do not vote have abstained. Those who stayed at home are not counted as abstentions.
on this case, submitting a ballot with no yes or no vote for a candidate is an abstention.  Simply ignoring the process and not sending in a ballot is NOT an abstention.
