# Illinois township advisory publication

This batch publishes the four distinct Chouteau, Granite City, Nameoki and Venice
Township questions reviewed in the [primary-source packet](../illinois-township-ballot-review/README.md).
Granite City Township remains distinct from the city. No legacy moratorium,
current-force restriction or instrument link is added.

The official question sheet labels the questions advisory and asks whether new
data-center construction and operation should be permitted. Each measure therefore
records `bindingness=advisory`, `yes_direction=facilitates` and mechanism
`advisory_support`. Larger no counts do not become enacted bans. Original
qualification/referral records, formal outcome and certification remain unresolved.

| Township | Current yes | Current no | Source ballots cast | Source registrations |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Chouteau | 365 | 1,817 | 2,224 | 4,862 |
| Granite City | 1,959 | 5,703 | 7,819 | 17,759 |
| Nameoki | 602 | 2,117 | 2,796 | 6,391 |
| Venice | 311 | 978 | 1,350 | 3,289 |

Each measure retains an earlier official CSV result observation and its explicitly
superseding November 5 report observation. The two ZIP bodies/URLs differ, while
their exact `summary.csv` member bytes match. Equal counts do not erase distinct
source observations; the public current view excludes superseded rows without
summing them. Source-labelled ballot/registration/precinct fields remain separate
from yes/no sums. Blank, under- and overvotes are not inferred, and precinct
completion is not treated as certification or complete ballot accounting.

Five primary source versions and 29 scoped claims support the batch. Identity and
publication plans pin all row fingerprints, the registry and the prior snapshot.
The archive/derivation repair is documented in the source-review packet; no
retrieved payload or original acquisition ledger was changed. Formal designations,
titles and placement remain unknown rather than copied from secondary descriptions.

The public results view now displays bindingness and yes-vote direction alongside
counts. Certification remains separate from measure bindingness, and advisory
permission remains distinguishable from restrictions. Tests exercise both
distinctions, along with existing null, supersession and source-label behavior.

The resulting subset contains sixteen measures/current result observations, five
current certified observations, and 22 retained result observations. The frozen
census ledger reconciles sixteen scoped publications / 40 pending groups. The
additional wind/solar zoning-control lead remains outside that frozen denominator,
without an allocated identity or accepted development-ban interpretation.

Publication, replay, offline consistency and validation receipts are retained in
`work/audit/illinois-township-*2026-11-05.json`. Full census review, legal history,
broader consumer updates and the public GitHub release remain unfinished.
