- Data-quality points seen on 2026-10-31 (not corrected by Votara): the German title of nr 695 says "vom 03.11.2023" while the French/Italian titles and the BK initiative record give the filing date 21.11.2024; the Romansh title of nr 697 is a placeholder; mmDate of nr 694 reads 2028-10-28 and the 28.02.2027 objects carry the press-release id of the 29.11.2026 decision. The cube carries no results yet for the 2026 votes ("Erwahrung in Vorbereitung").
