Welcome to the rebooted '''WikiProject Elections and Referendums''', a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] re-established in 2009 to standardize and improve upon Wikipedia's coverage on elections.

Our userboxes are {{tl|User E&R}} and {{tl|User WikiProject E&R}}. Our talk page banner is {{tl|WikiProject Elections and Referendums}}. Most importantly, be sure to check out the to-do box below.

There is also a [https://discord.com/invite/SFtGXuUuz5 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 [[Electoral calendar#Upcoming elections|Upcoming elections]] section of the [[Electoral calendar]].  Please help us keep these lists up to date!
