Presenting election result

For the vote count for parliament, note the following: Each voter can mark a number of candidates for parliament, the amount of candidates that can be voted for dependends on the amounts of seats allocated for each department. Francisco Morazan has 32 seats, so each voter may vote for 32 candidates. In Islas de Bahia there is only 1 seat, so each voter can only vote for 1 candidate. I suggest that we, when giving total vote for parties, divide the votes per seats in the department. Thus each vote in Francisco Morazan would be divided by 32, etc.. --Soman (talk) 18:38, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Presidential results

We should not wait by the final official results? Specially attending that the result is being disputed, with both sides claiming victory--MiguelMadeira (talk) 11:43, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New article

Does anyone else think it's time for a separate about the post-election crisis and protests. Charles Essie (talk) 18:06, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Countries that have recognized JOH as the winner

As it stands right now, we have a section listing countries that have recognized JOH's victory. I don't think that's appropriate. It gives the impression that only those three (Canada, Mexico, and the US) have done so, when in reality, the number is much higher. (I just spent five minutes googling and found Colombia, Guatemala, Israel, Nicaragua, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and the European Union.[1][2][3]) And this number is only going to go up, especially since the US just congratulated JOH. If we keep it updated, we're going to end up with a list of over 100 countries as the recognitions roll in, and I don't see the point in that. My first instinct was going to add those other countries to the list, but I think it would be better to just eliminate that list altogether. -- irn (talk) 21:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eliminate section or add "incomplete" (or something like that) to the section's lead sentence? Maybe we need to look at other disputed election articles to see the norm. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:33, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For 2009, it's all prose. And for 2013, there's almost nothing with just a little prose in the "Aftermath" section, but that election wasn't nearly as disputed. Another one to look at might be Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election, 2017? That one has more reactions from countries and not just a list. -- irn (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I'm happy with it being removed. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:57, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
