PALO SECO — Municipal electoral district councillor
All 14 corporations and 141 current electoral districts are registered. Five rejected-ballot OCR corrections reconcile the 2016 total: 361,178 valid plus 1,082 rejected equals 362,260 ballots. The signed Lengua declaration resolves the summary seat misprint. Its valid 2024 replacement and the Quinam 2024 by-election are retained. Ward and corporation votes overlap. Older boundaries, some candidate names, other intervening events, current control and the formal future call remain open.
Historical competition
Competitiveness index for a verified actual-event sequence withheld. Actual-event and/or comparability review incomplete.
Provisional imported-series CI: 0.0/100. This uses the three displayed comparison cycles and retains the open event/boundary audit. It does not confirm the latest three actual completed elections.
Grouped party-share volatility: latest interval 12.2 points; earlier interval 4.8 points; two-interval mean 8.5 points.
Grouped Pedersen lower bound (percentage points). Exact PNM and UNC labels, plus Other for all minor parties and independent candidates. Corporation and ward ballots overlap and are not summed across levels. Boundary changes and intervening ward events remain subject to the office review. 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. Event review: Actual-event and/or comparability review incomplete
Current government and control: Unverified. Local government-risk forecast: unassessed.
Polling: no vetted current evidence included for this office.
Individual single-member ward record. The same votes also appear in its corporation aggregate. Exact normalized names are joined within the same corporation; name matches alone do not certify unchanged boundaries. Older candidate names and the complete intervening-event sequence remain under review.
