pedersen volatility
Provisional volatility13.21percentage 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. 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.
