A seat is considered "won" when a candidate affiliated with the specified party has been declared elected by the relevant electoral authority and either:
The time for legal challenges has expired
Challenges have been resolved
The member has taken their seat
Party affiliation is determined by the party under whose banner the candidate was elected, regardless of subsequent changes.
The count is determined when the new legislature takes their seats, even if some seats remain vacant or challenged.
If the election is postponed beyond one year from the original date or cancelled entirely, the market resolves to the last fair market price.
Only seats actually contested and filled are counted in partial elections.
