How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Corrects the secret-list assertion
Both complete answers explain party and electorate votes, split voting, the entry threshold and government formation. The earlier description of party lists as secret is explicitly replaced by a public-list description, supported by the Electoral Commission’s pre-collection release. The normal 120-seat/61-support explanation remains simplified and should not be treated as exhaustive guidance about overhang seats or every government-formation arrangement.
The excerpts compare answers to this voter’s main question on 16 October 2026 and 19 October 2026. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
