How the assistants handled this voter's main question
More electoral mechanics, with a new public-versus-secret list error
The two-vote and split-voting explanations persist. Edition 3 adds a worked list-seat example and the 5%/electorate entry rule, but calls the party candidate list secret. That is a new consequential assertion to check against the Electoral Commission’s already published party lists; it should not be repeated as a fact.
The excerpts compare answers to this voter’s main question on 12 October 2026 and 16 October 2026. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
