Talk:2019 Greek legislative election

How did you generated the graphical summary?

Hey all. Sorry for asking this Question which is not relevant to the Article, but I have been trying to generate a graph for Cypriot Elections 2018 at the Greek version of Wikipedia, and it is a little bit confusion. How can someone create such a graph? Is there a tool within the WP or should someone create it in an extra-WP page and upload the picture afterwards? Thank you.

Which parties go in the infobox?

Hi,

It is my understanding that the main infobox near the top of the article should reflect the seats as they were when the parliament was dissolved. Frysimo2 has reverted my edits and stated in their edit summary: "Please do not add in the box parties that do not participate in the election." Which view is correct? Thank you, David O. Johnson (talk) 20:19, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't think there's a settled position on this. The infobox should reflect the election, so I can see a strong argument to exclude parties who are not participating in the election. Bondegezou (talk) 22:10, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

It makes the infobox incomplete if there are X number of seats missing from the total of seats currently in parliament. IMO the parties should be included but with a note stating that they are not contesting (I have reinstated them with such a note). Do we have a finalised list of contesting parties btw? If so, we could include them as well using {{Infobox legislative election}}, as we did with the recent Danish election. In the meantime I have warned Frysimo2 and suggested they join the discussion here. Number 57 22:21, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

A note is good. Bondegezou (talk) 22:31, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

The 2019 Greek legislative election will be held on 7 July 2019. All 300 seats in the Hellenic Parliament will be contested. It will be the first national election in Greece and third election overall since the voting age was lowered to 17, and the number of parliamentary constituencies was increased from 56 to 59. Athens B, the largest constituency with 44 seats before the 2018 reform, was broken up into smaller constituencies, the largest of which has 18 seats.

On 26 May 2019, following his defeat in the 2019 European Parliament election in Greece and the concurrent local elections, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced that a snap election would be held as soon as possible following the second round of the 2019 municipal elections. - Bloom Strength (talk) 19:43, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

The file image for the politician Kyriakos Velopoulos is blurry and does not make the overall wikipedia page look professional. Every other election page for every other nation has clear sharp pictures for each party leader that ran as a party leader and won seats in their respective parliament elections. For the Greek election page to have the same level of professional template and imagery can the image file for the politican Kyriakos Velopoulos be of the much clearer (and his official headshot photo) here Kyriakos Velopoulos in order for the page to have a better look of continuity with image headshots of each politican Dimitridaskarolis (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

That image is almost certainly a copyright violation and is not going to last long, so it won't be added to the article. Number 57 18:51, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Electoral system reform

Does the failure to reach a supermajority for the law lowering the voting age from 18 to 17 and, more importantly, getting rid of the 50 seat bonus mean it wasn't applied for this election but will for the next, or does it mean it is scrapped altogether? It doesn't seem clear to me, and the source are in greek. --Aréat (talk) 05:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

It will apply next election regardless of the outcome of the most recent election. If electoral laws receive the backing of a supermajority, they apply immediately. If the secure a simple majority, their application is always from the second subsequent election.Damac (talk) 18:52, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I couldn't find anything on it with the search results being flooded by the latest election. --Aréat (talk) 14:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
