Evidence
The legacy results URL returned a not-found/search fallback with a 2023 state-election candidate-list reference, FCT 2022 result reference, 2011 documents and 2015/2019 report references. The historical 2023 report PDF URL also returned a search fallback rather than PDF bytes.
Limitations
Search-index references do not establish complete results or complete candidate coverage. No election totals or winner records have been extracted in this release.
Ingestion plan
Locate current result and candidate files by contest, office and jurisdiction. Preserve original documents; reconcile published totals against source tables and retain amendments. Begin with 2023 and FCT/off-cycle documents; recover 1999–2019 through citations and archives. No public API, pagination or permitted request rate confirmed.
Expected records, as stated: Not measured — source discovery only; no underlying records ingested.
Terms of use
Reuse licence, robots policy and automated-access permissions have not yet been established. Link to the publisher; do not redistribute or automate collection until reviewed.
