Results

The results don't correspond to those have been published by the OPE (Órgano Electoral Plurinacional): see here. --151 cp (talk) 13:15, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@151 cp: The results are reproduced accurately from the Nohlen book (I have just checked it), which states that the source is the Electoral Court. The only other reliable source which has numbers is Election Passport. Its figures match the Nohlen total for registered voters, but nothing else, and also doesn't match the OEP website, so we have three separate sets of figures... I was wondering whether the OEP figure excluded overseas voters, but apparently there was no overseas voting until 2009. Number 5 7 15:35, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: This source (page 124 pdf) shows still different results (in particular, results concerning the Oruro department). It specifies that the results transmitted to the Congress (now Plurinational Legislative Assembly) were different, so Nohlen book could have considered these last results (see here, page 169 pdf). But which results should be considered "official results"? --151 cp (talk) 16:14, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @151 cp: Oddly, from the results presented to Congress here, some match the Nohlen figures and others not, and the overall total is the same as the Nohlen book. I have no idea which ones we should use... Number 5 7 16:26, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: For example, about MNR-MRTKL: IFES, 585,937 votes, Nohlen, 585,837 votes (page 162 pdf), but number of valid votes is the same... --151 cp (talk) 16:49, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
