Trust and provenance

How InfoUndi builds the election record

Every source has a defined role. Result facts, provisional reporting and interpretation are never silently blended.

Source hierarchy

  1. Completed results: constituency and aggregate records from ElectionData.MY, published under CC0.
  2. Official administration: election dates, process notices and official open data from SPR and the SPR Open Data Portal.
  3. Live count: timestamped source reports, separated into official and unofficial declarations.
  4. Polling and analysis: named publisher, fieldwork or publication date, method and a direct source link.
  5. News: attributed reporting used as evidence and context. News never changes the result database.

Election lifecycle

Watch

The previous official result remains the analytical baseline while dates, candidates, polling and reporting accumulate.

Live

Reported declarations and coverage are shown with status and timestamps. Provisional calls remain provisional.

Post-election

The final official result becomes primary. Count-night data remains only as a labelled historical archive.

Normal record

After the evidence window closes, the location returns to its durable result and analysis view.

Analytical limits

Registered-electorate characteristics describe the roll, not how individuals voted. Polling, outlooks and news are not combined into a forecast score. Seat-to-vote comparisons are descriptive because geography, alliances and candidate placement affect conversion.

Freshness and corrections

Production builds retrieve the latest available election snapshot and regenerate affected pages. Active election pages receive the current build date in structured data and the sitemap. Historic pages keep the election date unless their source content changes.

Questions about the record

Where do InfoUndi election results come from?

Completed constituency results are retrieved from ElectionData.MY. InfoUndi links the source and records when the local snapshot was checked.

Does news reporting change an election result?

No. News provides attributed context only. It cannot declare a seat or alter the result tally.

How are unofficial live calls handled?

Unofficial calls remain visibly provisional and timestamped. A complete official result supersedes the count-night archive.

How are corrections handled?

Source revisions are applied during the next data refresh. The affected page receives a new data-checked timestamp and keeps its source provenance visible.
