The Council of Nicea in 325 did not vote on a list of books to be included in the bible. (This vote didn't actually take place until the Council of Trent in 1546).

The earliest list of scriptures that equals the New Testament was in a letter by Athanasius in 367. The first council to accept this list as authoritative was a council in Rome in 382, though this council was only local in authority.

Some of the books that didn't make it into the current New Testament are:

Epistle of Barnabas (Codex Sinaiticus)
Shepherd of Hermas (Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Claromontus,
Irenaeus, Origen)
1 Clement (Codex Alexandrinus, Eusebius)
Barnabas (Codex Claromontus)
Apocalypse of Peter (Codex Claromontus)
Epistle of Paul to the Laodiceans (earliest versions of the
Latin Vulgate)
