04 · What changed

How Gemini’s answer changed

The new citizen’s answer added named party examples and explained how parties qualify for seats in Parliament. It also described how the remaining list seats are filled.

The earlier direct enrolment link disappeared. The party names illustrated how the voting system works and were not recommendations to vote for those parties.

The extracts compare Gemini’s nationwide answers from 31 October 2026 and 2 November 2026. Each opens the original answer from the date shown. Other assistants’ complete answers are available above.
