  • Same as the source

    Not run

    Each source is downloaded again and compared with the data the site uses. A difference means that an update is waiting.

    Not run: the nightly data update had just asked every source that was due; its pull request lists what changed.

  • Facts cross-checked

    No problems

    Vote dates, titles and results, the seats in both chambers and the parties’ voting recommendations are compared across the official sources.

How the checks work

The checks run every night after the data update and every week on the published site. An error means that something shown contradicts its source or does not work. A warning means that an update is pending or that something needs a look. The programs identify themselves to the servers they visit and send at most four requests at a time.

Did you find an error the checks missed? Please report it on the corrections page.
