What this pack is
2 contests, 55 people, 7 poll response rows, 343 result rows and 0 money edges, built 2026-09-03.
The cycle phase shown on every contest is computed from the election date and how well that date is known. The corpus carries its own status column; it disagrees with the derived phase on 20 of the 61 contests across all twenty-two countries, so it is carried through but never read.
Money rows and result rows are held off the site at their full grain: the staged corpus is 156 MB. What is published here is the aggregate computed once at build time, and every aggregate states the number of rows it stands for.

## People
- Current official Parliament directory used: https://www.parliament.gov.fj/members-of-parliament/
- Current official party/profile page checked: https://www.parliament.gov.fj/parties/
- Public page sitemap used to validate directory freshness: https://www.parliament.gov.fj/wp-sitemap.xml and https://www.parliament.gov.fj/wp-sitemap-posts-page-1.xml
- Official profile examples checked: https://parliament.gov.fj/members-of-parliament/hon-premila-kumar/ and https://www.parliament.gov.fj/members-of-parliament/hon-aseri-radrodro/
- A public text-rendered copy was fetched solely to extract all 55 official directory image/name entries when the source site served a JavaScript challenge: https://r.jina.ai/https://www.parliament.gov.fj/members-of-parliament/
- `person_id=fji-profile-{official profile slug}`. Full legal-style names were taken from the FEO candidate-results PDF where the current directory uses shortened display names; no biography was authored.
- Parliament terms: https://www.parliament.gov.fj/terms-of-use/ — attribution required; personal/non-commercial organizational copying permitted; broader publication/commercialization requires care.
## Results
- Official FEO candidate-level table used: https://www.feo.org.fj/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2022-GE.pdf
- All 343 candidate rows are included. `constituency_id=FJI-NATIONAL` because Fiji is a single national constituency. Candidate ballot number is the official results id namespace. Vote shares are calculated over 470,584 valid candidate votes. Seats mark the highest-vote candidates within the official 26/21/5/3 party allocations.
- FEO results pages checked while locating the official file/report: https://www.feo.org.fj/feo-general-elections/ and https://www.feo.org.fj/feo-information-center/
## Polls
- Tebbutt-Times published topline: https://www.fijitimes.com.fj/tebbutt-times-poll-pa-most-popular-party/ — fieldwork 4–12 June 2023, n=1,014.
- Seven explicitly printed raw-sample response rows are included. The broader 26% “undecided” subgroup overlaps printed unsure/declined categories and is noted, not double-counted. No MoE was printed.
## Money
- FEO audited-accounts portal: https://www.feo.org.fj/audited-accounts/
- FEO compliance notice / audited-account links checked: https://www.feo.org.fj/wufp-app-complies/
- Disclosures are linked as party-level audited-account PDFs, not a bulk machine-readable transaction table with official Parliament profile ids. `money-edges.csv` is header-only; no FJD amount was invented.

## Cycle status
- `fji-ge-2022` **sitting** — completed **2022-12-14**, `date_confidence=confirmed_official`.
- `fji-ge-next` **sitting** — `election_date` blank, `date_confidence=constitutional_due`. Official window ends **2027-02-06**, but no writ/polling day was announced as of 2026-09-03, so it is not `active` under the verified pack instruction.
- **Never ingest 2026-09-22.** It was fictitious mock-writ data circulated during an FEO rehearsal; no writ had been issued.
## People / join keys
- 55 sitting elected MPs from the current official Parliament directory.
- `person_id=fji-profile-{official Parliament profile slug}`. The slug is the only stable identifier exposed by Parliament; this is intentional and must be preserved.
- Current former-FijiFirst MPs are labelled `Independent`; other party labels follow the elected/current grouping. `bio_text` is empty.
- FEO result rows use a separate `fji-2022-ballot-{official ballot number}` namespace. No fuzzy roster/results join is asserted. Money is empty, so no person/money name match exists.
## Money
Header-only. FEO publishes party audited accounts as PDFs, not a bulk machine-readable transaction table carrying Parliament profile ids. No FJD amount was transcribed or invented.
## Polls
Seven option rows from **one** distinct Tebbutt-Times poll (June 2023, n=1,014). Fiji has very thin public polling. The article did not print a numeric MoE. Do not pad this layer with election results or unpublished/private estimates.
## Last-cycle returns
`results.csv` contains **343** official FEO 2022 candidate rows. Fiji uses open-list PR in a **single national constituency**. Votes come from the official FEO candidate-results PDF; vote shares are calculated over 470,584 valid candidate votes; seats use the official party allocation and candidate ranking.
## Licences / caveats
- Parliament terms permit personal/non-commercial organizational copying with acknowledgement; commercial/public redistribution needs rights review. FEO files did not expose an explicit open licence in the fetched material.
- Current roster and 2022 result identifiers intentionally remain separate. Do not infer a join from names.
- The next election date is blank by design. `2027-02-06` is the end of the official constitutional window, not an announced polling day.
