ParlGov lists parties with at least 1 percent of the vote or 2 seats, so the rows do not add up to the valid votes. How we read it.
For France ParlGov gives the first round's votes and the seats after the second round.
ParlGov marks results before 1945 as experimental: they may need revision, so we compare them with no other election.
