Gabon recently changed to the Two-round system http://www.jeuneafrique.com/mag/452912/politique/gabon-a-changements-a-abouti-dialogue-national/ --Aréat (talk) 02:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New category for Nigeria's system?[edit]

Nigeria doesn't use the two round system but rather a modification of it that functions a lot more like FPTP then TRS because of how low the threshold a candidate needs to meet in order to win in the first round (at-least 25% of the vote in 2/3s of the states). Perhaps a new category (other multi-round system or other single winner?) can be added to reflect this unique system on the map rather then just lumping it in with TRS? Also if anyone is aware of any other electoral systems similar to FPTP or TRS that are currently being labeled as such (like how the US used to be labeled as FPTP on this map when the electoral collage is it's own system) perhaps they could get their own categories as well. — Preceding ParkerFriedland comment added by 2601:600:9682:800:C1C8:A58F:94DD:39A7 (talk) 08:51, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple errors[edit]

I don't know how to edit the svg myself, so would appreciate if someone could fix the multiple errors:

  • The colours for indirect election and no election are far too close to each other, so in places it can be hard to tell which is which
  • Belize appears to have its own unique colour - it should be black
  • Kosovo is missing from the map, and Fiji has no data - both are elected by legislature
  • Solomon Islands and Antigua and Barbuda are missing, and have no elections like all other Commowealth Realms
  • Some ex-British Caribbean states are out of date: Barbados and Dominica are indirect, Trinidad and Tobago are electoral college
  • British dependencies/territories, US territories, and Overseas France are marked differently from their parent countries, which does not make sense for a map purporting to track heads of state

I have only explicitly checked those territories mentioned above, so there may well be other errors given the age of the map! 86.22.196.59 (talk) 21:29, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
