Talk:2023 United States elections

Local elections

I have a couple suggestions to better organize local elections that I would like to float:

1. We should have an objective definition of major US city for the shortlist at the top. I don’t see any real pattern to distinguish a major and minor US city in the lists. I would suggest it has to be in the top 50 largest US cities from the last census.

2. Would it be better to organize elections by city instead of by position and whether the incumbent is eligible. It would be more streamlined if for had for example:

Chicago, Illinois (April 4):

• Mayor: Brandon Johnson defeated Paul Vallas in a runoff election, succeeding one-term incumbent Lori Lightfoot, who lost re-election in the primary.
• Other: City Council, City Clerk, City Treasurer, Police District Councils

3. Another would be to create separate sections for past elections and upcoming

Mayoral seats that changed parties

Conversation started at Talk:2024 United States elections#Mayoral seats that changed parties on the appropriateness of labeling these races as party changes when it was an (officially) non-partisan election. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 16:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
