Data: Election Results Dashboard Methodological Summary

Summary: Dashboard aggregates official Election Commission datasets across cycles for seat, vote share, and conversion ratios [src:source-eci-2014] [src:source-eci-2019] [src:source-eci-2024].

Dataset Provenance:

• Direct retrieval from official ECI portal (URLs recorded).
• Integrity verified via checksum logging (stored externally—description only).

Transformation Steps:

1. Parse raw CSV/PDF into normalized schema (fields: constituency_id, party_code, votes, total_valid_votes).
2. Compute vote share = votes / total_valid_votes.
3. Aggregate seat wins per party.

Methodological Notes: No extrapolation; all values derived from official records.

Limitations: Does not adjust for delimitation changes (if any); comparative analysis should account for structural changes.

Independent Verification Path:

1. Download original ECI data.
2. Recalculate sample constituency vote shares.
3. Cross-check aggregated national totals.
