Many changes[edit]

I haven't seen the news in non french speaking sources, but there's many changes scheduled :

The number of seats is now 109
In each of the 24 constituencies, a seat is now reserved for a female candidate on the lists
The mandate has changed from four to five years, but the assembly elected in 2023 will have a three years one, so as to coincide all election
Next parliamentary election will thus be in January 2026, earlier by two years
Next municipal election will also be held in January 2026, postponed by one year
Next presidential election are still scheduled for April 2026, so it won't be a fully combined election.
Parliamentaries now have a three mandates restriction, including the three years one, but older ones don't count

2023 Beninese parliamentary election → Beninese 2023 parliamentary election – I believe that the title "Beninese 2023 parliamentary election" is a more grammatically correct title. StereotypicaI American (talk) 15:58, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per just about every other election article title. -- AxG / ✉ 17:15, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for same reason as AxG. Additionally, per WP:NCDATES and WP:NCE, the "when", "where", "what" format is acceptable in that order and is the most widely used. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 17:39, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; Year, followed by date, is the generally accepted format. BigCheese76 (talk) 18:22, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NCELECT, the naming convention for election articles. Number 5 7 19:35, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per everyone above. Election articles should be formatted as "[year] [country] [election type] election" (common types of elections include "federal", "gubernatorial", "legislative", "parliamentary" and "presidential", as well as in some cases "by-election"). For example, the article 2022 Australian federal election is correct, but titles such as Australian federal election, 2022 or Australian 2022 federal election are not correct (the former is a redirect to the correct title, however).

Oppose per criteria regarding article title consistency. Clyde H. Mapping (talk) 04:46, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
