Evidence desk

Evidence that is live in JerseyWay today: proposition vote records, committee links, member-linked media and promises, and the current Hansard sample alongside the source catalogue.

Coverage reality check
This page states the live evidence surface plainly so the public product never implies deeper coverage than the route can actually show.

• Media evidence currently links 5 of 49 members.

• Promise evidence currently links 3 of 49 members.

• Committee links currently attach to 16 of 49 members, with 46 member-level memberships recorded.

• Hansard currently exposes 14 parsed speeches across 3 source documents and 12 debates.

• Interests / conflict entities linked into the live evidence graph: 0.

Blocker split
Exact split between what JerseyWay can finish honestly now, what must stay labelled as limited, and what is blocked outside the app.
Finish now
Vote source coverage is exposed route-by-route with 3 CKAN year slices and 20 aggregate-only proposition stages carried by the official XML supplement.
Committee coverage is now framed with the exact bound: 16 of 49 current members have 46 member-attached committee links in the live dataset.
Evidence depth is measured openly instead of implied: media 5/49, promises 3/49, Hansard speeches 14.
Explicit limitation
Committee coverage is partial because JerseyWay only publishes member-attached committee rows presently available in the dataset, not a fully refreshed authoritative committee directory import.
Promise and media research remain intentionally narrow: 10% of members have linked media evidence and 6% have linked promise evidence.
Interests/conflicts are still a provenance layer only: 0 interests sources are ingested into live linked entities.
Hansard is still a limited sample surface with 14 speeches across 3 source documents, not a full sitting-by-sitting corpus.
External blocker
Official CKAN vote datastore for 2023 is currently unavailable from the public API.
Published CKAN vote datastore currently ends at 2025-05-02; newer Assembly votes are not yet available there.
2024 CKAN vote datastore currently stops at 2024-07-02, so later 2024 votes are not yet present in the official datastore export.
Official Assembly vote portal fallback for 2023 is blocked by cloudflare.
Official Assembly vote portal fallback for 2024 is blocked by cloudflare.
Official Assembly vote portal fallback for 2026 only became reachable via Apify, so direct source access from this environment remains blocked.

• Members sourced from api.states.je authoritative API.
• Current-term member vote histories sourced directly from official Jersey Open Data CKAN datastore resources.
• Official Assembly XML proposition-result feed supplements aggregate outcomes where CKAN member-level coverage is missing.
• Participation and similarity enrichment sourced from digitalstates.je member/statistics pages.
• JEP and campaign promises merged from local research outputs.
• Committee memberships remain partial because the live pipeline currently preserves member-attached seed rows rather than a refreshed authoritative committee directory import.
• Party-level manifesto rows remain in the raw promise totals but are not auto-assigned to individual members without explicit evidence.
• Hansard public depth is still a limited local sample until broader transcript acquisition is restored.
