So technically, it is not an office of politician but official representation of government
representative?

> I think office=government government=official would avoid this confusion and potentially apply to a broader range of facilities. Would there be interest in migrating to this tag instead, for the physical offices that are apolitical in nature?

This tag sounds like "official government office", not like
"government office of specific official"
to me, and I would not guess its intended meaning on encountering it.

Also "offices that are apolitical in nature" seems confusing, as this offices are unlikely
to be actually apolitical (even if there are limits on direct campaigning).

Not sure should "constituent service office" have a separate tagging or is it best to
consider it as technical/funding/descriptive detail and treat it like any other politician
office.

Maybe
office=government government=constituent_service
or
office=government government=official_representative
would be better?

But in Poland at least office=government + subtag would be incorrect - these are
not government offices at all (though elected official are receiving funding for them),
and office=politician is a better fit.

(resending - I got email that it was rejected and seems not listed at
