Wonderful! The key pieces of information to kick this one off are 1) one more Y than N and no abstentions, and 2) no proposal received the same # of votes. There's only one way to arrange the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to sum 13, so those two clues provided the leverage necessary to solve the rest.
Excellent puzzle!
