The table follows the cited national party and alliance categories, including zero-seat entries. Some historical categories combine allied local lists; votes under those categories are not separate votes cast for the national party alone. Coalition subtotal rows are excluded to prevent double counting. Vote shares exclude blank and invalid ballots. Seats are won in this election, not the party’s total representation across the chamber. Previous seats compare the preceding election of the same cohort (four years earlier for deputies, six years for senators), under the same ballot label; later transfers and vacancies are excluded. Comparisons are blank where a label or coalition is not safely comparable.
