The original data derive from the raw data of the statistics obtained from the Ministry of Justice. New data on the election of the candidate in the County elections were drawn from the data of the statistics on county elections. The data formed with the new variable differ slightly from before. In the table County councillor = elected in the County elections 2022. |
