## Mayors, elections, population, and locality coordinates

**Comisia Electorală Centrală a Republicii Moldova (CEC)**  
Unit-level local-election and by-election result links are preserved in `sourceCEC`. Records marked `cec-verified` were checked against the report contents, including archived copies where the original endpoint was unavailable.

**Wikipedia în limba română**  
Selective extraction from the 2026-10-01 multistream article dump. Mayor, party, election, population, coordinate, website, and alias fields are linked to their originating articles in `sourceWikipedia`.

No mayor portraits are bundled or fabricated. All portrait fields are `null`, and the interface displays initials with an explicit unavailable-photo notice.

## Administrative reform

**Moldova 1 — Government briefing of 8 October 2026**  
Used to cross-check the publication date and the 273-primărie configuration presented with the official map.

The regional overlay is a cartographic grouping of current district polygons, not an official final boundary dataset. No unverified future-primărie geometries were imported.
