"the seats for the proportional representation system were increased to 335 and the members nominated by the prime minister were increased to 26 from 17."
Increased from 26 to 17? I don't know if it should read decreased or the numbers should be switched but this doesn't make sense.

To 26 from 17! They don't teach you people reading skills in schools anymore.-- 99.141.187.154 ( talk) 12:47, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Now there is only 62 days left til the election, and this article could need a drastic boost.

do we know if the king himself voted? --

I've now created {{ CA2064-Kathmandu-1}}. We need to create new ones like this, once more constituency counts are finalized. Note that this one is exceptionally long, due to large number of candidates. Most rural constituencies will be much shorter. -- Soman ( talk) 12:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Why is the 'Nepal Election Portal' blacklisted? It looks neutral and it has details not available elsewhere. But I was not allowed to add it. -- GwydionM ( talk) 21:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know when the nominated seats will be selected? Are they elected by the old interim government or the new one formed after the CA convenes? In the latter case, they should be removed from the results table. -- Soman ( talk) 08:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
The following expression is internationally ambiguous:
"On 15 December, the government tabled an amendment to the constitution"
Since the word "tabled" means opposite things in the two most popular dialects of English, I really don't think it should be used in an encyclopedia that is supposed to be internationally readable. I've assumed it is being used here to mean "considered" and changed it accordingly. Xezlec ( talk) 23:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there any reason the Maoists are listed as a majority party when they don't infact have a majority? It seems rather likely that the Maoists are going to form the government with the support of one or more other parties, but they are still not the majority party. Might it be best to just leave out the infobox until a government is formed? Nil Einne ( talk) 21:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree with Soman. I think the infobox is inappropriate and misleading and must be removed. There appears to be a number of other mistakes as well. For example: Sashank Koirala is not the top leader of Nepali Congress. Main leader of Nepali Congress has to be Girija Prasad Koirala, or if selected from FPTP candidates, Sher Bahadur Deuba. According to heirarchy of Nepali Congress, Sher Bahadur Deuba comes after Girija Prasad Koirala.

If in case the new Nepalese government would be a coalition government the Infobox Election page could be done because it is possible to put two pictures and leaders on government and/or opposition. Rizalninoynapoleon ( talk) 02:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Nepalese parties have crazy logos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.200.188 ( talk) 20:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
These are not logos. They are election symbols only !!!
Kathmandu2007 ( talk) 21:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Fasach Nua has been removing the election symbols from the article. On one hand, election symbols are very important in Nepalese politics, far more politically relevant than mere logos of Western political parties. When splits occur, conflicts erupt over the right to the election symbol. On the ballot papers, only symbols appear and in the election campaign symbols are used rather than text in many instances. Many of the Nepalese parties have symbols whose names are not easily identified by name to many non-Nepali users, and pictoral representation is necessary for the quality of the article. It is not decorative, but informative and within bounds of fair use. -- Soman ( talk) 11:39, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
the post-election sections are getting quite long. Perhaps its time to state that the election is over, and shift material to Politics of Nepal? -- Soman ( talk) 09:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
"The Constituent Assembly will have a term of two years." OK so what now? Has there been another election? If so, it should be linked. 86.129.14.106 ( talk) 19:26, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
There is a detailed article Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2008 focusing on the same topic that is extensively covered also by Nepalese Constituent Assembly. Because of the coming elections (described by Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2013), these articles should be merged and split in such a way that Nepalese Constituent Assembly describes just the assebly, its history and work, and Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2008 just the elections (background, results etc.) Is there anybody, perhaps with some insight into Nepalexse politics, willing to do so?
