Premature entries for elections[edit]

I don't think it's useful to overwhelm the page with elections and polls that are not finished. It's not giving any real useful information when entered prematurely. We should wait until there are results and then post. I moved the entries to here until results are added:

I think this is a general issue as well, so I made a post at Portal talk:Current events#Premature entries for elections and polls. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
