ParlGov lists parties with at least 1 percent of the vote or 2 seats, so the rows do not add up to the valid votes.
The source publishes votes only: shares are votes over the valid (expressed) votes, computed by us.
ParlGov marks results before 1945 as experimental: they may need revision, so we compare them with no other election.
