Se trata de 'votos concurrentes' que tuvieron lugar a la vez en el mismo sitio.
'Votos concurrentes' are 'concurrent votes'.
Something described as concurrent happens at the same time and place as something else. Where votes are concerned in the Spanish description the issue is that they occurred at the same time and place. Whether the votes are in agreement or in opposition is another issue. The adjective to describe a vote in agreement, which is in favour of another person or something such as a legislation, is 'concurring'.

Robert Carter
: ...and that is precisely the WRONG meaning here. It's a complete misunderstanding of the text. Nevertheless, "concurrent" is not specifically wrong to describe a vote in agreement, it's just fallen out of use in favor of "concurring".

: I do agree that it's clearly less than ideal, simply because of it's ambiguity, and I agreed with you because this is more idiomatic, but "concurrent" does mean "in agreement" too. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/concurr...

Thanks, Robert. Concurrent is patently a false friend, even North of the Border in Scotland. // I know - after checking the OED. Meaning no. 3: agreeing; harmonious, plus am wary of dissenting from a Scottish answer i.e. spelling of a court's judg*e*ment.
