Hi there, I'm copy editing this article as part of the GOCE March 2023 Drive. Pinging @ PizzaKing13, who made the request.
Just dropping off some quick notes from the start of my copy edit!
Clarify: will all voting be electronic?
Clarify: 30% in each category or 30% overall? I think adding "each" or "total" could clarify either way.
Can this be updated? i.e., remove wording that implies this is dated, as it's now confirmed
Clarify wording: don't use "be eligible" in place of register (if this is the case)
Not copy editing, but I found this article that El Salvador could be added to: Right of expatriates to vote in their country of origin. I didn't link to it as it's not super in-depth and El Salvador's not (currently) in it.

@ Wracking: Thanks for the comments so far on the copy edit. PizzaKing13 ¡Hablame! 07:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Here are the remainder of my notes for my copy edit! Most of these are explanations for content removal, but there's also some more general notes. As always, let me know if there are any issues or questions that arise. Pinging @ PizzaKing13, who requested the copy edit.
I removed this sentence, as it's not related to the paragraph/section (expatriate and electronic voting, and allegations of fraud) and its interpretation of the source is tenuous at best. The phrase "lo que Nuevas Ideas intente robar a los votantes" ("what Nuevas Ideas plans to steal from the voters") is (1) not core to the article and (2) does not necessarily imply that the author thinks NI is engaging in election fraud.
I removed this section of text; it could be repurposed elsewhere, but it's not relevant to a section about polling.
I deleted several charts for opinion polling, as they don't add any information not provided by the tables. If there is more opinion polling done in the future—enough to necessitate switching a table for a graph—then I think the graphs could come back. The graph I've left (Bukele re-election polling) needs some improvements. I think it needs a title, a legend, and preferably the "Bukele announces re-election bid" text wouldn't be running vertically.
Something to keep an eye on in this article is the use of names and making sure not to leave the reader confused. Generally, I erred towards giving full names of individuals, even when they had been mentioned prior. Especially with names like Ortiz, of which there are a few in this article, it's important to clarify.
A lot of the quotes weren't quotes, but translations. I either removed quotation marks or added the original quote as well. See MOS:FOREIGNQUOTE.
An example of why it's really important to be careful about translating sources, and especially important to be careful when putting those translation in quotation marks:
I removed the table in #Parliamentary parties. Although it's a great table, it's about the 2021 election and overall clutters this article.
I moved the section ##Election financing to #Electoral system, as it's about the government's running of the election, not the campaigns.
Overall, I think the article does a good job of giving the reader the necessary background on this topic, balancing past context, recent news, and yet-unknown information.

Cambio Democrático released a statement on 2 June 2023 that their primary elections will include voting for presidential and vice-presidential pre-candidates, but the statement was released on Facebook. They're scheduled for 5 July. I haven't been able to find any sources outside of FB to confirm this though. I'll leave a link to the post. Their Twitter is inactive.

Will add Draft:Joel Sánchez (politician) page once review is complete. Draft is done.

Shouldn't there the local election be its own page since it's a different election, and was held on a different day? Aréat ( talk) 04:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
