- Present at other parliamentary work
- The MP was not in the chamber because they were doing other Assembly work, for example in a committee or a group meeting. It does not count as an absence. Source: Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, art. 53.º
- Parliamentary mission
- The MP was representing the Assembly elsewhere, for example in a delegation abroad. The Assembly records it separately, as an absence on mission, not as a missed sitting. Source: Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, art. 56.º, n.º 3
- Justified absence
- The MP was absent for a reason the law accepts: illness, marriage, maternity or paternity, bereavement, force majeure, parliamentary mission or work, or political or party work. The President of the Assembly decides whether the justification is accepted. Source: Statute of MPs, art. 8.º, n.º 2; Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, art. 18.º, n.º 1, al. a)
- Unjustified absence
- The MP was absent without an accepted reason. Each one is deducted from the salary (1/20 for the first three, 1/10 after that), and missing four plenary sittings in a legislative session without a justified reason leads to the loss of the seat.

- Absent at the voting quorum
- When there are not enough MPs in the chamber to vote, the President of the Assembly calls them in and records who is missing. The Assembly marks it «QV» and, once justified, «QVJ». Source: Statute of MPs, art. 24.º
- Assembly code
- The abbreviation the Assembly puts on each record. PR: present. PNO: present at another body. ME and MP: parliamentary mission. FJ, QVJ and FAJ: justified absence. FI: unjustified absence.

- Debate with the prime minister
- Every two weeks the prime minister comes to the plenary to answer MPs’ questions. The formats alternate: with an opening statement by the prime minister (point a, «general policy») or questions only (point b). Source: Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, art. 224.º-A
- Replacement
- When an MP leaves or suspends their seat (for example, to join the Government), the seat goes to the next candidate on the same list. That is why a legislature has more names than its 230 seats. Source: Electoral Law of the Assembly, art. 18.º; Statute of MPs, art. 4.º
