electoral systems

(List of electoral systems by country) In the United Kingdom section, how about adding:

The House of Lords
The Crown dependencies
The remaining overseas territories?---Ehrenkater (talk) 19:38, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was also thinking that the list is incomplete / inconsistent. Just finished the list of countries on the page Majoritarian representation which already has dependencies included, but have not yet cross checked a lot with the full list of electoral systems by country, which is also seems out of date at many points.

From my part, feel free to add them, although I think dependencies should probably have a background color to clearly differentiate with the legislatures and heads of state.

Mixed-member majoritarian representation moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Mixed-member majoritarian representation, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Absolute majority (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Absolute majority (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Conditional electoral system moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Conditional electoral system. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and the single source utilized does not include the term "conditional electoral system". I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:43, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Electoral systems map block voting.svg

You've listed Singapore as using this electoral system. Votes in a group representation constituency is via "teams", where you cannot split the ticket as explained in Plurality block voting#Example. This means it's not an example of this and has to be de-colored. Howard the Duck (talk) 23:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is shown in a different color (party block voting) than the version where you can split your vote Rankedchoicevoter (talk) 08:04, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, the colors don't refer to the method of voting (whether candidate or team) but to which chamber the electoral system is used. Howard the Duck (talk) 15:16, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
