Public dashboard
No official statistics are available. Once the Assembly is constituted, the dashboard should cover a clearly defined reporting period and link every figure to the certified legislative record from which it was calculated.
Assembly-wide measures
- Number of proposals submitted, debated, amended, approved, rejected, and archived
- Number of votes held and percentage meeting quorum
- Average time from submission to final outcome
- Committee workload, referrals, reports, and completion times
- Member participation and vote-attendance rates
Member records
- Individual voting history, including Yes, No, Abstain, absent, and formally excused
- Attendance in votes and in committee proceedings where publication is lawful
- Written contributions, sponsored proposals, co-sponsorships, and amendments
- Committee assignments and participation by reporting period
- Voting alignment and patterns, accompanied by a transparent methodology
How figures must be explained
Every percentage should state its numerator, denominator, date range, inclusion rules, and data source. “Missed,” “absent,” and “excused” are not interchangeable. A Member should be able to request correction of a factual data error, but a verified historical record must never be rewritten for political convenience.
Responsible interpretation
Statistics can illuminate participation, but they cannot by themselves measure judgment, independence, or the quality of an argument. The portal should not produce ideological loyalty scores or present raw voting similarity as proof of improper coordination. Any alignment analysis must be reproducible, neutrally described, and linked to the underlying votes.
Search, compare, and download
Visitors should be able to select a Member, committee, proposal type, date range, or legislative term; compare like-for-like measures; open the supporting records; and download accessible data in a reusable format. Member profile pages should connect photographs and biographies with verified committee work, written contributions, and voting history.
Data integrity and privacy
Statistics should be generated from certified source data, not manually retyped summaries. Calculation versions, corrections, and publication times should be logged. Public accountability must be balanced with lawful privacy and security protections, especially for personal contact information, confidential proceedings, and protected witnesses.
