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

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:

Presidential elections (two rounds)
Note that the candidate with the highest number of votes in the first round is at the top of the list.

Parliamentary elections (mixed electoral systems)
Note that parties are ordered by votes in the proportional vote.
