Frequently asked questions

We publish opinion polls with stated sources and aggregate statistics. The map separately shows sourced 2018/2023 parliamentary election data and current provincial community participation. The chart shows only sourced polling averages.

The map shows 2018/2023 parliamentary election data or actual voluntary participation. District-level figures are not invented. Recent changes are calculated from provinces with sufficient participation. Chart lines are averages only of non-sample polls with source links. Without sources, the polling line remains empty.

For each party, we calculate the arithmetic mean of sourced polls in the same calendar month. Results are not weighted by sample size. Sample polls and unsourced records are excluded from public averages. The chart offers year-to-date, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month views. Sources are listed on the chart page.

No. User accounts, email sign-in and phone verification are closed. These details are not required to explore data or participate. The participation form asks you to select a province for the map; it does not collect your district or precise location.

The server checks this browser's random participation cookie. A 30-day waiting date is also held in browser storage; neither contains your party preference. Refreshing the page or resubmitting from the same browser does not create another response. The server applies request rate limits as well. These controls do not verify unique individuals.

Your preference is added to day/party and day/province/party aggregate counters. The latest party and province are stored on the server under a digest of a random participation key. No identity, IP address or device fingerprint linked to the response is retained. Responses are kept after 30 days; results cover all time. Provinces with at least 5 responses are published, and only these provinces enter the overall distribution. There is no minimum per party. This threshold does not guarantee legal anonymity. Voluntary results are separate from representative opinion polls.

You can change your selection before confirming. Thirty days after it is saved, you can change your preference from the same browser. The new preference replaces the previous one without increasing the total response count. Legacy aggregate records cannot be matched to a browser. Clearing browser data does not reverse aggregate counts.

Google Analytics is not used. Visit measurement and Google advertising have separate permissions. If you allow measurement, only first-party aggregate visit and page counters are retained; party preferences and IP addresses are not written to measurement data. Advertising code loads only when ads are enabled and you have allowed advertising; requests wait for the required Google consent result. Non-personalised ads are requested. The Politics advertising category is blocked, but automated filtering cannot guarantee perfection. You can withdraw permissions at the bottom of the site. See the Cookie policy for details.
