📊 2022 in review

Turnout in 2022: 23.5% (659 of 2,806 eligible voters). Full certified results: AMO 2022 portal.

⚠ 2022 results for 1 race(s) omitted: those rows failed our archive consistency checks — unmarked winners, vote totals contradicting the marked winners, or the current officeholder missing from the certified list (the last case is normal after a mid-term by-election, but we show nothing we cannot verify).
