Method & licences

See what is openly licensed, what is used only as an attributed official reference, and what the tracker does not redistribute.

Rights-cleared public dataset

Only the dataset below is included in the tracker’s open-data distribution. Its licence is verified from the issuing authority rather than inferred from public availability or storage.

Government/open dataset used in public downloadable output
DatasetLicenceCommercial useDerivatives
Jersey States Assembly voting recordsOpen States Assembly Licence – Jersey v1.0YesYes

Contains States Assembly information licensed under the Open States Assembly Licence – Jersey v1.0. The tracker normalises the official feed into stable recent-vote pages and a bounded JSON extract; it does not imply endorsement by the States Assembly.

Official references without a blanket open-data licence

These official pages support current-member, election and vote reporting on the site. They are linked and attributed, but they are not presented as open datasets and are not included in the downloadable member or mixed-island vote exports.

Jersey elections and candidate material

Vote.je

Used for attributed civic reporting and primary-record links; not included in the open-data download.

Authority terms

Company, ownership and sanctions context

The unified R2 importer holds the approved official releases below for policy-context research. The public site shows release, source, licence and gate metadata only; raw records are not downloadable here.

Publication boundary

  • /data/votes.json contains Jersey records only and carries the OSAL-J attribution.
  • Current-member JSON and CSV exports are withheld from production because their mixed-island inputs do not share one verified open licence.
  • Candidate-authored manifestos and portraits remain third-party material. The tracker links to their official pages; it does not grant reuse rights over them.
  • R2 raw records are not parliamentary evidence. Only the approved importer release metadata above is used for company, ownership and sanctions context; every parliamentary claim still starts with a named Channel Islands authority record.

Fallback policy

If an official endpoint is temporarily unavailable, the generator keeps the last complete verified membership snapshot for civic pages. It never replaces a failed response with generated names or statistics, and fallback storage does not change the source licence.
