Map coloration?

On my computer the westernmost district on this map (in the infobox) shows up as black when viewed on this page. However, when I click the file I see it is striped orange and yellow. Is anyone else having this issue, and does anyone know a solution? Thanks. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 21:29, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, happens for me too. And changing the size doesn't seem to help. Perhaps the map's creator RaviC can do something? Number 5 7 22:01, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see this issue so I can't replicate it, but I've changed the striping pattern a little. Does that change anything? --RaviC (talk) 22:08, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RaviC: Yes, that works for me. Cheers, Number 5 7 22:22, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That fixed it, thanks. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 22:51, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No invalid votes

A turnout figure has been added, which seems to be based on the number of valid votes rather than total votes cast. Were there no invalid votes in this election (i.e. 100% electronic voting or a marble system like Gambia's)? Cheers, Number 5 7 16:37, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Number 57:,

As I understand, the National Electoral Commission (Somaliland) has not yet released the official data regarding turnout, number of invalid votes etc. There will most definitely be invalid votes as per previous Elections in Somaliland.

Many thanks Jacob300 (talk) 18:02, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you. I've removed the turnout for now. Cheers, Number 5 7 18:13, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
