Source policy

Source authority depends on the question. We begin with the institution or record responsible for the narrow fact being checked.

Primary source spine

Electoral commissions lead voting instructions; legislation and courts lead legal status; Parliament leads chamber records; official statistics lead their defined datasets. Party and candidate material establishes what the actor claims, not whether the claim is true.

Freshness

Election timetables, office-holders, boundaries, policy settings and numbers are time-sensitive. We record the review date and recheck material-change triggers instead of treating an old authentic page as permanently current.

Links and commercial influence

Editorial content contains no affiliate links. Source panels name the public institution and document family so readers can locate the current official record without tracking parameters.
