Seats are counted by us from the TSJE's 'Nómina de Senadores Titulares' (p. 90), which marks each senator with an abbreviation: ANR 23 (PARTIDO COLORADO), ASPP 12 (ALIANZA SENADORES POR LA PATRIA), PCN 5 (PARTIDO CRUZADA NACIONAL), AEN 2 (ALIANZA ENCUENTRO NACIONAL), PPQ 1 (PARTIDO PATRIA QUERIDA), FGÑ 1 (FRENTE GUASU ÑEMONGETA), CDN 1. The act does not expand 'CDN'; we attribute that seat to the YO CREO list because a D'Hondt allocation of the 45 seats on these list votes gives exactly this split with the 45th seat to YO CREO, and the same 'CDN' abbreviation marks the two Alto Paraná deputies whose seats D'Hondt gives to YO CREO there. The TSJE also gives VOTOS EN BLANCO 120.825, VOTOS NULOS 13.706, TOTAL DE VOTOS 3.020.187 (= ballots), ELECTORES HABILITADOS 4.772.196, PARTICIPACION 63,29. totalVotes 2,885,656 is the sum of the list votes, computed by us.
