attendance check result. The attendance check result remains in the CU until the next attendance check

session is started, or until the CU is reset.

voting alternative (Yes, Abstain and No), this is done using the control message

delegate is located, and the vote that was cast. Also here, a dedicated message group is used, so that it

is possible for the CU to send information of up to 4 votes in one message.

faults, in which case the voting session is cancelled (VOTING_STATUS_VOTING_CANCELLED).
