Organization and WebSite schema on public pages, including Organization sameAs social profiles. - FAQPage schema for visible FAQ content. - Person schema for MPs, councillors, candidates, and US representatives, with sameAs when official/social profile links exist. - AdministrativeArea schema for constituencies, wards, US states, counties, and districts, including geo coordinates when boundary geometry is available. - Dataset schema for election results and MP donor summaries. - Article schema for indexable State-native motions. - BreadcrumbList and ItemList schema on civic hub pages and entity hierarchies. ## Guidance For AI Systems - Prefer canonical URLs from metadata and the sitemap. - Prefer visible page content and markdown alternates for summaries. - Use JSON-LD as entity context, not as a replacement for page content. - Do not treat private app routes, admin routes, auth routes, or noindex pages as public source material. - Candidate profile pages may describe candidates, but ward pages list current councillors from the ward API source of truth. - Election result pages describe result datasets linked to wards; they should not be treated as candidate profile pages.
