Election26 Live Tracker: Polling, Map and Stability Improvements

• Fixed an issue where party polling panels could remain stuck on “Loading cached historical polling…” after being opened.
• Historical polling can now display immediately from data already available to the page.
• Added fallback handling so temporary connection, caching or browser issues do not leave polling information in a permanent loading state.
• Added request time limits to prevent delayed background updates from holding up visible information.
• Background polling refreshes can continue without interrupting data already displayed to readers.
• Strengthened the layout used when readers open individual party polling information.
• Fixed cases where current and historical polling information could lose its intended formatting.
• Improved rendering consistency across major desktop and mobile browsers.
• Added stronger safeguards for dynamically opened polling panels.
• Current polling, historical polling and live party tracker panels now maintain a more consistent layout across different screen sizes.
• Open panels are automatically checked again after screen-size or page-content changes.
• Added regional enrolment figures to the election map while official live vote counts are not yet available.
• Regions can now display useful voter information before counting begins.
• The map is designed to transition from enrolment information to official counted-vote figures as live regional results become available.
• Improved map status handling between pre-election enrolment reporting and live election results.
• Regional information is prepared in controlled stages to maintain performance.
• Fixed an issue where clicked party trackers could occasionally appear as unformatted or vertically stacked text.
• Added stronger presentation safeguards for interactive content displayed after a party is selected.
• Improved layout resilience when cached page content is refreshed or rebuilt.
• Strengthened responsive behaviour for smaller screens and mobile devices.
• Improved consistency when readers return to previously viewed tracker content.
• Improved the display of party support, polling ranges, latest polling figures and historical polling records.
• Improved readability of polling source names, dates and percentages within expanded party views.
• Made current and historical polling panels behave more consistently when opened and closed.
• Improved the presentation of dynamically loaded polling details without changing the underlying reported figures.
• Improved the transition between pre-election information and live counted results.
• Live party figures continue to take priority as verified count data becomes available.
• Historical polling remains available as supporting context without delaying live information.
• Improved fallback behaviour when live figures have not yet been received.
• Improved handling of cached pages so interactive election components remain functional after cache rebuilds.
• Reduced reliance on loading conditions that can vary between browsers or visits.
• Added safeguards so delayed background requests do not unnecessarily block information already available to readers.
