Splitting proposal

I propose that this article should be split into 2024 Uruguayan presidential election, and keep this page for the parliamentary results. This page is essentially a page about the presidential election with limited information about parliament, it covers primaries, all candidates, and the results section is only about the presidential election.

I don't think this is necessary and hasn't been required for any election up until now. Number 5 7 19:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also think splitting the page doesn't make sense, since congressional seats are allocated based on presidential election votes.Tuesp1985 (talk) 22:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good point – as it's a double simultaneous vote election, it makes very little sense to split it. Number 5 7 00:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against splitting the page, it is a single election and uruguayan laws treat it as such. It is also the case in other countries' articles like the Argentine general elections Coquimbo58 (talk) 03:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm definitely against splitting the article. I can say it both as a Wikipedian and a Uruguayan: our system implies an intimate relationship between the election of president and parliamentary seats allocation. Best, Fadesga (talk) 11:00, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
