Premature entries for elections

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I don't think it's useful to overwhelm the page with elections and polls that are not finished. It's not giving any real useful information when entered prematurely. We should wait until there are results and then post. I moved the entries to here until results are added:

Argentine general election, 2015
- Voters in Argentina go to the polls to select a new President and legislature with the presidential election to go to a runoff on November 22 as neither candidate could secure a majority. (BBC), (CNN)
Tanzanian general election, 2015
- Voters in Tanzania go to the polls for an election with the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi facing the greatest challenge to its dominance in over 50 years. (Washington Post)
Ivorian presidential election, 2015
- Voters in the Ivory Coast go to the polls for a presidential election with incumbent Alassane Ouattara favoured to win. (AP via New York Times)

I think this is a general issue as well, so I made a post at Portal talk:Current events#Premature entries for elections and polls. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
