Question to someone more familiar with how these votes work.

Is this the page for this vote? https://www.votewatch.eu/en/term8-copyright-in-the-digital-s...

If it is, it says 312 voted for it, 317 against it, 24 abstained. But it passed? Why?

There were two votes: (1) Amendments to the Directive, (2) vote on the whole directive.

Amendments did not pass 312-317 and Directive passed 3xx-247 (cant recall the exact numbers)
