Election result, not a current-member roster.
These are historical final election and seat-allocation records. They do not establish the current membership roster after resignations, replacements, vacancies, or later party changes.
The vote table covers the National Ballot only; the separate Regional Ballot is not presented as a party-vote total on these pages.
