Read the complete original research briefing

PR declarations visually/digitally reviewed. PR seats are explicitly component-only; no whole-council majority or present government is inferred from them. Spelling bridges preserve original source identity. Separately verified 2023 whole council seats: APNU 1, PEOPLE’S DEVELOPMENT MOVEMENT (P.D.M) 0, PPP/C 5 of 6. As-declared composition only. Fewer than three same-authority source cycles; see predecessor/new-authority exceptions. Published PR council sizes change across the history; boundary/council-composition comparability requires review.

pedersen volatility

Provisional volatility

28.65percentage points

Grouped Pedersen lower bound (percentage points). PPP/C and Other on the PR ballot only. APNU, AFC, their joint slate and local groups stay together in Other to avoid treating a coalition split as a measured voter transfer. This deliberately coarse lower bound hides changes among every non-PPP/C list. Whole-council composition is separate. An interval is withheld if either election has no list mapped to an explicit named group. This is aggregate share change, not individual voter switching.

Source-reported control: Unverified. Current tenure requires separate dated evidence.

5. Officeholder evidence

Dated roster observations are not automatically current tenure. The source current-office flag means this office is tracked now, not that the last winner still holds it.

No officeholder observation supplied.

6. Polling context

No local poll supplied.

7. Unresolved issues and sources

PR declarations visually/digitally reviewed. PR seats are explicitly component-only; no whole-council majority or present government is inferred from them. Spelling bridges preserve original source identity. Separately verified 2023 whole council seats: APNU 1, PEOPLE’S DEVELOPMENT MOVEMENT (P.D.M) 0, PPP/C 5 of 6. As-declared composition only. Fewer than three same-authority source cycles; see predecessor/new-authority exceptions. Published PR council sizes change across the history; boundary/council-composition comparability requires review. Older full PR vectors remain absent or inconsistent for several LAAs; Nile/Cozier 2018 has an unresolved printed-total conflict. The 2018 official index omits three towns. Whole-council constituency allocations, geography and current control remain incomplete. The Indigenous community directory is not a verified election register or a three-cycle return archive.
