HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Sources and method

The numbered marks beside each section explain where the information comes from and how it is presented.

*1 Sources used

Lists of initiatives, votes, parliamentary groups and MPs are organised from openAR open data, an independent service. Where possible, each item links to the Assembly of the Republic's official document or record. Use those links to check the original text and results.

*2 Voting results

This page shows the result recorded for each vote. “Approved” means the proposal passed that vote; by itself, it does not mean it is already law. A law may need further votes, the President of the Republic's promulgation and publication in the Official Gazette. Some votes approve resolutions, which are not laws.

*3 Summaries and explanations

Explanations are generated automatically from the available official document and may miss details. If a document is too long, only part of it may be analysed. Translations are automatic too. Check the original document linked on the proposal page before drawing conclusions.

*4 Topics and committees

Topics are suggestions inferred from the title and summary; they are not an official classification. Committees, when shown, come from the parliamentary record.

*5 Parliamentary groups and seats

The composition counts MPs currently associated with each group. Groups can change during a parliamentary term. Percentages show each group's share of Assembly seats, not its share of votes in the election. Colours only distinguish groups and do not represent political positions.

*6 MP profiles

Profiles use public data organised by openAR, including mandates, biography and parliamentary activity. A missing item may mean it is unavailable from the source; it does not prove the activity never happened.

*7 Updates and saved data

Data is refreshed periodically and the last update date appears beside sections. If mark *7 appears, the source did not respond and we are showing the last saved copy. It may not include recent changes.
