Template talk:Election results-STV

First attempt to use template[edit]

Here's my first attempt at using the template:


Candidate		Party	First count		Second count		Third count
Candidate		Party	Votes	%	Votes	%	Votes	%
	Bob Kiss	Progressive	2,981	33.76	4,313	51.50
	Kurt Wright	Republican	3,294	37.31	4,061	48.50
	Andy Montroll	Democrat	2,554	28.93
	Dan Smith	Independent
Total			8,829	100.00	8,374	100.00

For some reason, though, the first column seems to be missing; I'm probably using the template wrong, but I'd like any help I could get :)

(Minor improvement: It would be great if this could automatically calculate the row for the exhausted ballots using the difference.) –Sincerely, A Lime 03:39, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first column doesn't show up because you have used the code votes1_1. It should be just votes1.

Re exhausted ballots, it is possible to do this, but I think will require quite a bit of code. Cheers, Number 5 7 16:28, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, I can do that, thanks :) Might make sense to alias `votes1_x` to `votes1`, although I don't have any experience with WP templates so I'm not sure how hard that would be.

Where can I find the code to try and take a crack at adding exhausted ballots myself? –Sincerely, A Lime 17:44, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
