Seventeen ridings carried names that no longer applied
What was wrong. Seventeen ridings were renamed on , when Part 2 of the Strong and Free Elections Act (S.C. 2026, c. 20, s. 88, "An Act to change the names of certain electoral districts, 2026") came into force, ninety days after Royal Assent on . The site went on printing the old names in those ridings' titles, addresses, descriptions and structured data, on the board and in the find layer, for twenty-two days. The boundaries and the district numbers did not change; only the names did.
What changed. The seventeen pages took their new names and new addresses. Each says under its name what it was formerly called and the day it was renamed, with the statute linked; its 2025 result, which was fought under the former name, is headed with that name; and its structured data carries the former name beside the new. The old addresses, with and without their trailing slash, redirect permanently to the new, and the build refuses a site without every redirect. A check against the House's list of constituencies now runs each Monday, so a name the House has changed is reported rather than left.

A region's deed dealt a poll from the year before as its latest
What was wrong. On the board as it stood in October 2026, Ontario's deed dealt support tokens from the one regional poll of the thirty days to and called it "the region's latest". The rule took a region's last week with any poll in it, however old.
What changed. A region's polls are dealt only when their thirty-day window ended within the ninety days before the board's date, and the deed says the dates of the polls it deals. Past that, the deed says there are none and names the last poll it has ("No Ontario polls in the 90 days to Oct 7, 2026"); a region that has had no poll since the election says so.

The score sheet’s election row laid the board on the wrong day
What was wrong. The score sheet's 2025 row said "Click it to see election day" and laid the board on , the last day of the first sitting, not on election day.
What changed. The row and the calendar's Election space lay the board on : the seats as the official count left them (169 Liberal, 144 Conservative, 22 Bloc, 7 NDP, 1 Green), the tokens the vote itself, no one yet in the Chair and the House not yet sitting, with a note that these are the official count, not election night's preliminary one.

Distinctions ranked 2nd to 10th carried first place’s title
What was wrong. A riding's distinctions gave every rank from 2nd to 10th the title that belongs to first place: Carleton read "Highest turnout in Canada · 2nd of 343". An audit of the live site on counted 296 such badges on 175 pages among the national distinctions; the fix counted 367 on 184 pages once the provincial and census distinctions were included.
What changed. Below first place the title carries its rank: "2nd-highest turnout in Canada", "3rd-highest household income", "9th-youngest median age". The medallion, the figure and the denominator are as they were. On the riding card, which has no room for the rank in words, a badge below first says the plain degree ("High turnout" under the engraved "2nd"), never the superlative. A test now holds every badge below first in the record to its rank.

A member seated at a by-election was dated from an earlier election
What was wrong. A riding page dated its member from the day they were first elected to the House, whichever riding that was. Battle River—Crowfoot's answer sentence, shared-link description and structured data said Pierre Poilievre was "its member since 2004-06-28"; he won that seat at the by-election of . The five members first seated at the by-elections of 2026 (University—Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, North Vancouver—Capilano, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, Beaches—East York) were dated the same way, and a member who had crossed the floor read "now sits as" with no date.
What changed. A member is dated from the day they took this seat, read from the record's cards: "its member since the by-election of 2025-08-18", and "first elected to the House in 2004" said as what it is. A member sitting for another party than the one they were elected for is dated from the day they crossed ("has sat as a Liberal since 2025-11-04"). The by-election is in the page's structured data as an event. A test fails the build when the House's list runs ahead of the cards.
