Referendum[edit]

There is a Referendum held along side this general election. Should there be a separate page for this? I would believe so. I am not sure what has been done in the past. Link to Comic of Referendum. Sputink (talk) 06:28, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I did not wait that long for a response and created a separate page anyway. The page, Zambian constitutional referendum, 2016, still needs some proof reading. Sputink (talk) 08:03, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sputink: Late response, but yes, a separate page is ok. Cheers, Number 5 7 15:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Number of seats[edit]

Zambian media refer to 156 constituencies while the text says 150.--Batmacumba (talk) 11:33, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ECZ also says 156: https://www.elections.org.zm/general_election_2016.php --Batmacumba (talk) 11:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the number has increased since the last elections. Number 5 7 11:55, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
