Party/list votes and seats follow the election-era ballot labels. Coalition subtotal rows are excluded to avoid double counting. Seats are mandates won by each ballot list, including candidates of allied parties on that list; they are not a later party-membership snapshot. Previous seats compare the immediately preceding general election only where the same organisation and ballot identity can be matched. Independents and changed alliances have no inferred comparison. Colours are an editorial palette; ideological labels describe broad party traditions, not individual candidates. The YSK party rows sum to 10,141,243, exceeding the printed 10,138,035 valid-vote total by 3,208. Counts and the printed denominator are retained, with partial coverage; no residual is fabricated.
