Party and group labels reflect the referenced election-era table. Display colours are editorial; no legal continuity or ideology is inferred. Before 1919 majority voting and multiple ballots/selections prevent treating historical aggregate candidate figures as one comparable national popular denominator. From 1919, quoted national party strength is based on canton-size-normalised voter equivalents rather than summed candidate/list vote marks. Rounded voter-equivalent counts are deliberately not entered as exact ballot counts. Seats use this election’s historical capacity, not today’s 200.
