English term or phrase: "All those Abstaining"
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation of a public meeting about early care. Is okay to translate it as " todos los que se abstienen"?

I'm sorry about the previous duplicate sentence. It's already closed.

Thanks for you help.

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Abstenciones
Explanation:
En España, más que decir "los que se abtienen" diríamos "abstenciones", pero ambas opciones son buenas a mi ver (por lo que sé, para AmLat también).
