2024 Australian Capital Territory general election → 2024 Australian Capital Territory election – I don't think common name includes the word "general". "2024 Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly election" could also work but is wordyTheLoyalOrder (talk) 08:42, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support 2024 Australian Capital Territory legislative election and move all other ACT election articles as well. 'General election' is usually used for countrywide elections such as the UK (see 2024 United Kingdom general election), while legislative election (or state election for states) is usually used for subnational elections.

Support also agree with @Aydoh8 moving to "legislative" and same with all other pages...assuming the Northern Territory pages are also moved? Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 11:00, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I think the NT pages should be moved also, but that's a discussion for another RM if someone wants to open one. Aydo h8^[contribs] 13:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
