Entity Descriptions

POLITICIAN

Stores information about Swedish politicians.

Attribute	Type	Classification	Description
id	UUID	INTERNAL	Primary key
personId	String	PUBLIC	Unique ID from Riksdagen API
firstName	String	PUBLIC	First name
lastName	String	PUBLIC	Last name
birthDate	Date	PUBLIC	Date of birth
gender	String	PUBLIC	Gender (M/F)
createdAt	Timestamp	INTERNAL	Record creation time
updatedAt	Timestamp	INTERNAL	Last update time

Indexes:

• idx_politician_person_id (UNIQUE) on personId
• idx_politician_name on lastName, firstName

Data Retention: Indefinite (historical political data)

VOTE

Records individual votes cast by politicians.

Attribute	Type	Classification	Description
id	UUID	INTERNAL	Primary key
ballotId	UUID	INTERNAL	Foreign key to BALLOT
politicianId	UUID	INTERNAL	Foreign key to POLITICIAN
voteOption	String	PUBLIC	Yes/No/Abstain/Absent
voteTime	Timestamp	PUBLIC	When vote was cast

Indexes:

• idx_vote_ballot on ballotId
• idx_vote_politician on politicianId
• idx_vote_time on voteTime

Data Retention: Indefinite (historical voting records)

Relationships

• POLITICIAN to PARTY: Many-to-One (politician belongs to one party at a time)
• POLITICIAN to VOTE: One-to-Many (politician casts many votes)
• BALLOT to VOTE: One-to-Many (ballot contains many votes)
• POLITICIAN to POLITICIAN_ROLE: One-to-Many (politician has multiple roles over time)

Data Classification Summary

• PUBLIC: Politician names, votes, documents (public record)
• INTERNAL: System IDs, timestamps, technical metadata
• CONFIDENTIAL: None
• RESTRICTED: None

Performance Considerations

• Votes table will grow large (millions of records), requires partitioning by year
• Full-text search on DOCUMENT requires Elasticsearch integration
• POLITICIAN queries often join with PARTY, consider denormalization for read performance

Migration Strategy

See FUTURE_DATA_MODEL.md for planned schema changes.

Decision Points

Validation Checks

• HTML validation
• CSS validation
• JavaScript linting
• Accessibility checks (WCAG 2.1 AA)
• Link validation
• Security header validation

Security Scan Thresholds

• Block deployment: Critical vulnerabilities
• Warning: High vulnerabilities (review required)
• Pass: Medium or lower vulnerabilities

Lighthouse Budget

• Performance: ≥ 90
• Accessibility: ≥ 95
• Best Practices: ≥ 95
• SEO: ≥ 95

Error Handling

All workflows include error handling:

1. Detect error - Automated checks or manual report
2. Log error - CloudWatch, GitHub Actions logs
3. Notify - Slack/email notification
4. Rollback (if deployed) - Revert to previous version
5. Fix - Implement correction
6. Verify - Test fix before re-deploying

Performance Considerations

• Parallel processing: Run security scan and Lighthouse audit in parallel
• Caching: Cache CloudFront invalidation to avoid rate limits
• Incremental builds: Only process changed files
