How Votara keeps the data current

An automatic run checks the Parliament’s data and the vote results every day, and the vote results again on the evening of each voting Sunday. Statistics are checked every week, and every day from 3 days before to 14 days after an announced publication date. Fixed historical publications are checked every month.

Every run is followed by automatic accuracy checks. An update is published automatically only when the checks pass and no dataset changed in an unusual way (a large drop in rows, many revised rows, changed columns); otherwise it waits for a person to review it. When only data changed, the site is rebuilt automatically.

Each source shows the period the data covers, the day Votara’s copy last changed, and the day Votara last checked the source (even when nothing had changed).
