Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums/Elections Manual of Style/Results tables

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Due to there being so many formats of elections, it is not easily possible to create a results template that would show all types of results. Therefore wikitables are used for simplicity and consistency. Except in cases where the results are shown on one page (usually the most recent elections), the tables should be coded directly onto the articles themselves.

Formats by the different types of elections are shown below:
