Evidence Appendix

The checklist is backed by a machine-check appendix for release boundary, hashes, current/latest consistency, source-register coverage, votes-only high-cost review, and residual stats inventory. The appendix strengthens the evidence basis without changing the release boundary or promoting later local backfill views.

Criteria Checklist

Criterion Candidate Vote Facts District Stats Facts Overall Public Status Public Evidence Required Disclosure
Fixed release ID meets meets meets Release 2026-03-28-v036 is fixed. See evidence appendix. Cite the release ID, not a mutable latest route alone.
Public manifest or file list meets meets meets Public catalog and release manifest list the release files. See evidence appendix. File role must be read with the manifest.
Stable core fact roles meets residual residual fact_candidate_votes.csv and fact_district_stats.csv are core fact roles. fact_district_stats.csv exists as a core file, but municipality-stat values are missing in this release.
File identity and hashes meets meets meets Manifest/current/latest hashes match the release files. See evidence appendix. Use fixed release files for citation.
Public-safe source basis meets not met conditional Public source register identifies official Soumu result sources for the 94 components. See evidence appendix. Source basis supports votes-only facts; it does not close missing municipality-stat values.
Structural validity meets row frame conditional Files follow expected CSV roles and row structure. Row structure is not the same as complete stats values.
Semantic validity warnings row frame conditional Normalization/dictionary rules and review records exist; 5 alert-only rows remain disclosed. See evidence appendix. Alert-only rows and missing stats must remain visible.
Numerical consistency votes-only not met conditional Votes-only high-cost review passed for all 94 components. See evidence appendix. Do not extend votes-only consistency to municipality turnout/stat fields.
Provenance support meets partial conditional Release metadata and public source register support traceability. Public provenance does not make the dataset official.
Reproducibility meets current state residual Release ID, public manifest, file roles, and hashes fix the comparison boundary. See evidence appendix. Reproduction of this release reproduces the missing-stat residual too.
Residual disclosure meets blocker required disclosure Missing municipality-stat markers are visible in all 94 district stats components. See evidence appendix. State that 2021 HR municipality stats are not complete in this release.
Public boundary meets meets meets Public docs use release IDs, public keys, and public-safe source fields. Internal logs are not required for normal public citation.
Claim boundary meets blocker required disclosure Allowed and forbidden claims are explicitly separated. See evidence appendix. Block nationwide municipality-stats completeness claims.
Human review for R5+ not met not met not R5+ This checklist is not a completed human hearing/legal review package. Do not use this release as R5, R6, or R7 evidence without further review.

Required Public Warning

2021 HR candidate vote facts in release 2026-03-28-v036 are suitable for votes-only report-grade public review. The district stats files in the same release are residual-disclosed row frames and do not provide complete municipality-stat values. AERL is evidence-readiness review, not official certification or proof of truth.
