Template:Election table
Usage
This template marks the beginning of a table and defines borders, margins, background colours, and text alignment within the table. (Default alignment is "right", others must be specified.) Table rows and cells are written as usual, and the table is closed with "|}"
For example, to have a table as shown below, include the code shown to the right:
{{Election table|title=Summary of [[Mars|Martian]] election results, 2020}}

Options
Instead of {{Election table|template_name=template pagename}} Title you can use {{Election table|template_name=template pagename|title=Title}}. The title will be bolded automatically.
To add class="sortable", use ...|sortable=yes}}. If you use this, you will need to edit your table to have |- class="sortbottom" as the row separator for the total row. If you want a specific column not to be sortable, specify class="unsortable" in the attributes of its header cell. Sorted tables do not currently work with tables using colspan. See Help:Sorting for more information about sorting.
To align the table on the right side of the page, use ...|align=right}}.
For direct use in an article instead of a template, do not include the template_name parameter.
To collapse the table, use ...|collapsed=yes
