Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums

Welcome to the rebooted WikiProject Elections and Referendums, a WikiProject re-established in 2009 to standardize and improve upon Wikipedia's coverage on elections.

Our userboxes are User E&R and User WikiProject E&R. Our talk page banner is WikiProject Elections and Referendums. Most importantly, be sure to check out the to-do box below.

There is also a Discord server for editors to chat more informally.

Scope
The scope of the project is the coverage of elections and referendums anywhere in the world, from a national level to a local level.

A comprehensive entry with the most recent results on the national level worldwide can be found at the List of election results by country (note: a long document). An overview of past election results can be found at Elections in 2005, Elections in 2006, etc. A list of upcoming elections can be found at Upcoming elections section of the Electoral calendar. Please help us keep these lists up to date!
