Blank and rejected ballots are excluded from result shares. Colours are a display palette. Unknown figures remain unreported. National Statistics Iceland party categories; vote shares are calculated from exact valid votes and rounded to two decimal places. Residual categories are retained without inventing allocations to individual minor lists. The Althing then operated in two divisions; this is their combined membership elected through the same national contest, not duplicate lower- and upper-house popular ballots.
