Map coverage, vote definitions & attribution
Colours show the largest reported party/list vote total in each reporting unit, not elected seats or government formation. Boundaries follow the source crosswalk; these are not necessarily parliamentary constituencies.
These local votes are separate from the IPU national seat archive. Shares use the sum of source-listed party votes, not registered voters. First-preference, list and candidate ballots are distinct. Names and counts are preserved from the published compilation.
99 of 133 reporting units have source-matched displayable boundaries. Non-geographic ballots, unmatched units and excluded overseas geography remain selectable. A missing boundary never becomes a zero vote or fabricated polygon.
Party colours are preserved from source identity records. Ties, independents and unverified identities use neutral grey. Text abbreviations are not official logos. Display simplification does not create legal boundary documents.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PARTIES
Party leadership.
Each leadership record carries its own date and source. Undated records are not verified for the election date. These names do not identify every constituency candidate or establish who governs; member-party leaders are not automatically a coalition’s joint leaders.
