Welcome to the rebooted WikiProject Elections and Referendums, a WikiProject re-established in 2009 to standardize and improve upon Wikipedia's coverage on elections.
Our userboxes are {{User E&R}} and {{User WikiProject E&R}}. Our talk page banner is {{WikiProject Elections and Referendums}}. Most importantly, be sure to check out the to-do box below.
There is also a Discord server for editors to chat more informally.
Scope
The scope of the project is the coverage of elections and referendums anywhere in the world, from a national level to a local level.
A comprehensive entry with the most recent results on the national level worldwide can be found at the List of election results by country (note: a long document). An overview of past election results can be found at Elections in 2005, Elections in 2006, etc. A list of upcoming elections can be found at Upcoming elections section of the Electoral calendar. Please help us keep these lists up to date!

To do
Election and referendum years
The subpage /Elections and referendums lists all national election and referendum templates and notes whether they are complete or not (in terms of having every election/referendum linked and whether there are articles on those elections/referendums).
Election and referendum results
The subpage /Election results aims to list all elections by year and notes whether the results are complete or not; articles with incomplete results can be found in Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results. A few other articles can be found via Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Election results missing.
Referendums in the European Union
The subpage /Referendums in European Union aims to create an article about referendums in each of the European Union countries.
