Formatting issue[edit]

Images on right hand side create awkward space between polling 2017 section title and content. Shushugah (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Petro's home state[edit]

He was born in Córdoba, that is easy to check. At 7 or so, he mooved to Cundinamarca, and also politically was Bogota's mayor, nonetheless his homestate should be Córdoba department. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.27.155.135 (talk) 04:18, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blank votes %[edit]

Shall we include the percentages of the blank votes as they are considered valid votes in Colombia, or recalculate the percentage to reach 100 %, excluding them of the total? I'm in favor of the former, but was told it wasn't the way to do when the same situation happened in the Talk:Mongolian presidential election, 2017. So, which one is it?--Aréat (talk) 10:08, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMO we shouldn't include them, and the percentages for the candidates should add up to 100%. This is to ensure consistency in the way results are presented, which is what is done (for example) in Dieter Nohlen's set of books. Number 5 7 10:45, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We still disagree, obviously, but to me the point is that there should consistency in the way we treat blank votes included in the valid votes. Cordially.--Aréat (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So, shall we change the percentages on this pzge or the other?--Aréat (talk) 17:29, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ITN[edit]

I'd like the article to be nominated in the news, but I'm not sure if it should wait for all the votes to be reported. --Jamez42 (talk) 00:49, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
