Evaluate the drafted changes
The current article provides a clear description of what the article entails, but it might be beneficial for your lead to one incorporated with more political history and circumstances behind the elections, to provide the necessary context for each section.

Your project seems super essential in providing a framework for an individual to dive deeper into each election. For the elections that do not have articles, would it be helpful to include descriptions of each in this section as there are major gaps between the content provided?

In the 2015 General Elections section, this sentence is a bit confusing to me: “Following the Coup d'état, President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré won the election, in Burkina Faso's first peaceful and fair elections with actual uncertainty of who was going to win the presidency in 50 years.” This section could also benefit from representing more perspectives of the public on this election as well as more context. You do a really great job of staying neutral and informative!

In the first sentence of the 2020 Burkinabé general election section, the incorporation of “gruesome” as a descriptor is not as impartial as it could be, although a description of the horrifying nature of this attack should probably be expanded upon. What was the public impact/reception of this election process?

It might be helpful to include more sources and content in the electoral system as well, and outline the specifics of their election structure more intricately here.
