A share is a party's votes over the votes of all the parties: the votes of its candidates and the votes for its label, with blank, null and annulled votes left out.
The Court's files give the votes of each party and not the seats, so none are shown.
From 2022 parties may stand in a federation, which counts as one list for the seats. A row is one party's own votes.
The election also chose the president, in one round or two. Results by candidate are not shown yet: we publish candidates' names only once our assessment of candidate data is adopted. The turnout of each round is further down the page.
