User:StudiesWorld/Notability (elections)
 | The following is a draft working towards a proposal for adoption as a Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process. The proposal must not be taken to represent consensus, but is still in development and under discussion, and has not yet reached the process of gathering consensus for adoption. Thus references or links to this page should not describe it as policy, guideline, nor yet even as a proposal. |
This guideline is meant to reflect consensus regarding the notability of elections and referendums. For the purposes of this guideline, an election is any vote in which a broad population, as opposed to a legislature, chooses one or more individual to fill an office or offices and a referendum is any vote in which a broad population chooses from two or more options regarding a policy question. In general, all elections and referendums are notable enough to receive some level of coverage on Wikipedia. However, not every election or referendum is notable enough to receive its own article.
