Corrections & verification log.
Dated corrections, source discrepancies and verification notes for PolityIQ. Routine live count changes are not editorial corrections.
October 23, 2026 · BC candidate totals
Unresolved discrepancy in official sources. Elections BC’s finalized-candidates announcement reports 355 candidates, including eight unaffiliated candidates. Its detailed candidate web table and CSV each contain 353 rows, including six unaffiliated candidates. Our 353 published identities match both detailed sources; no missing names have been invented.
The discrepancy is now disclosed on the BC desk and homepage. Detailed official roster · Official announcement. Status: two candidate identities unresolved; this is not evidence of a withdrawal.
October 23, 2026 · Display and accessibility
Corrected the singular homepage countdown to “1 DAY TO GO.” Added server-delivered BC numbers, a map and all-riding candidate tables, so the page remains useful before scripts load. Added separate section sharing cards, indexable US and Brazil views, and visible source-update versus source-check times. These are presentation changes, not revisions to votes or polling figures.
