Sections of this graph where counts were available as part of a periodic series that appear to be comparable over time are shown as a curved line. A blue line represents central committee membership. For periods when counts of a larger number of contributors who did not all qualify as voting members were also available, a second line is shown in green. | Sections of this graph where counts were available as part of a periodic series that appear to be comparable over time are shown as a curved line.

In addition, the formula used in generating the reports was not properly updated, and this was not corrected until April 2022. As a result, variations in the count from May 2021 through April 2022 cannot be assumed to be accurate.</ref> | ||
