Aragonese Party Vote Count

The vote total listed for the Aragonese Party is 4,088, which comes from here: https://elpais.com/espana/elecciones/generales/congreso/ In that source, 4,088 is indeed the vote toal which is listed. However, there appears to be a discrepancy when you go deeper into that source and looking at the vote totals by constituency for that particular party found here: https://elpais.com/espana/elecciones/generales/congreso/escanos-por-partido/par/ The national total there is still listed as 4,088, but when you sum the totals in each of the four provinces where the party is listed as having competed, you get 5,516. I'm not 100% sure where the typo in the source is, but I suspect that the true vote total for the Aragonese Party is the latter value, 5,516. This is because, according to the source for the totals in the Aragonese Party, the party got 1,428 votes in the constituency of Alicante, and 4,088 + 1,428 = 5,516, so I suspect that, the source somehow didn't add the votes the Aragonese Party got in Alicante to their national total, which should actually be listed as 5,516. Even though I'm pretty sure that 5,516 is the actual vote count, I'm not 100% sure, and the typo could potentially be elsewhere in the source. Additionally, I don't want to edit the official total just yet as doing so would cause there to be a discrepancy between Wikipedia and the source it's citing (even though it would likely make Wikipedia factually correct) and changing the totals for the Aragonese Party would necessitate changing the total number of votes cast, which might also cause the rounding of some of the percentages listed for other parties to change due to being calculated as a percentage of a new (albeit very similar) total number of votes. What is the proper way to proceed? Poseidon with a C (talk) 18:57, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The figure is provisional and will be updated when the Interior Ministry has the full results, so it is not troubling. Nonetheless, it's 700 (Huesca) + 706 (Teruel) + 2,682 (Zaragoza) = 4,088, what is the discrepancy? Impru20^talk 19:07, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You start with 4,088 as you had and than add the 1,428 votes the Aragonese Party is listed as having gotten in Alicante for 5,516 2600:100F:B137:8B0E:0:4C:7B4D:9101 (talk) 19:55, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's the "Partido Autónomos", not the PAR. I see El País fucked it up somehow, I'm extracting the data directly from the Interior Ministry page. Impru20^talk 20:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
