Turnout: 345,757 voters / 484,430 registered electors. Shares are recalculated from the stated valid-vote denominator, not all registered voters or all ballots cast.

Coalitions remain single result rows; coalition votes are not distributed among component parties. All lists in the checked national table, including zero-seat lists, are included. Blank government information and unassessed ideology do not imply a conclusion about either.

Previous seats are shown only for the same standalone party in the immediately preceding election or an unchanged coalition membership. A missing comparison is null, not zero. Chamber size and electoral boundaries changed across some elections.

The checked source records 6,922 invalid ballots (votes cast less valid votes).

National list vote totals include the designated minority polling stations once. Their separate mandate-allocation calculations are not added as a second national vote table. Half of the mandates were assigned in submitted list order and the remainder at the list submitter’s discretion.

The final commission list figures sum to 338,833 votes, two fewer than the 338,835 valid votes recorded in MNEE. All 12 final list totals are retained unchanged, shares use 338,835, and the two unallocated votes are documented rather than invented as an “Other” party. Seats reconcile to 81.
