I was able to find data from Michael Craton, A History of the Bahamas (1962, an excellent book) which has relatively much data about the Bahamas Assembly. Founded in 1729, there was no fixed frequency of elections, in 1795 it was fixed to seven years. Election in 1784 and 1764, an early election in 1832, followed by one in 1839. I tried to fill in the missing years, and there are no disaccord if you use 1794, 1801, 1808, 1815, 1822, 1829, 1832, 1839, 1846, 1853, 1860, 1867, 1874, 1881, 1888, 1895, 1902, 1909. Next election 1919, due to WWI, then an election in 1927 and 1938 and 1949. One can assume that 1945 was an election, and of course an early one between 1927 and 1938. Is it possible to find find something about that? Besides this, there is a problem we have with many election during the 19th and sometimes the ealry 20th century: Not the polling day but the day of the first convention of parliament is recorded. As a read often in that book that "election were held in the late year" and "the new assembly convened in the early year", this might explain some differences of one year, and can cause minor mistakes.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
@ Antemister: I obtained the two books (The Bahamian Parliament 1729-2004 and A history of the Bahamas House of Assembly). From this I determined that there were elections in 1729, 1731 (?), 1734, 1741 (?), 1770 (?), 1772 (?), 1784, 1794, 1832, 1833, 1858, 1864, 1868, 1882, 1889, 1928 (?), 1935 (?). The 1833 one was definitely in December (the Nassau polling took place on 17 December). The book agree with what you have, so I think we can assume your other dates are probably correct. I have enough data to start two articles and possibly a couple of others. Number 57 19:24, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

There was a pre-independence parliament: [24], Election in 1937 ( Indian Provincial Elections, 1937 [25]) and 1946, Area Handbook Pakistan, p229 [26](remove the "-" between "india" and "netzone", the spam filter does no allow that link), then in 1954 ibid, p230 (Peter Heß, Bangladesh, tragödie einer Staatsgründung, p16)but the period between 1958 and 1970 is difficult due to the indirect basic democrat system. I assume that the provincial assemblies were elected the same time as the NA (1960/1962 and 1964/1965), but that needs to be confirmed (EWY, SYB).-- Antemister ( talk) 20:15, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

The country in the world with the highest number of national elections in his history? The assembly was founded in 1639, and from 1660 on, there were annual elections (An act limiting the Assemblies Continuance, Barbados. Acts of assembly passed in the Island of Barbados from 1648 to 1718. London, 1721, p11) Before, there were unregular elections, because the term was not fixed. Will be hard to find out those dates.

1946, 1952, 1957 are just the normal French TAs, see the 1978 Nohlen book, which has some information about it, 1959 is also mentioned there. In December 1961, a new constitutional law came into force, which increased the size of the parliament.

Maybe a LegCo election about 1973. I asked an expert on that topic.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:39, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Actually, the source was wrong. There was a Legislative Assembly election in 1973, which I have created an article about.

A complete set of data for the presidential elections was available [63], but, as usual for latin america, the book contains on legislative ones during the 19th century.

Here, various Dutch-style elected institution existed from the late 17th century onwards. As for other countries of that region and time, electoral data seems to be unavaiable. Data is avaiable from 1891 onwards, the year a crown colony system was introduced. Elections took place in 1892, 1897, 1901 [77] the term was five years p81. Do not know more data at the moment, but quite many books do exist [78] [79] [80] [81] [82] [83]. Can you try to use the Times to find out more data?-- Antemister ( talk) 21:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
One can expect that the data can be found in: Claude Moïse: Constitutions et lutte de pouvoir en Haïti. Band 1: La faillite des classes dirigeantes (1804-1915) Les Presses de l'Université d'Etat d'Haiti, Port-au-Prince 2009 ISBN 978-99935-57-07-4
For 1809, 1812, 1815, a speaker of the french language should have a look at the relevant part of the Constitution of 1806 (art. 40-60).

The ORS was abolished in 1866 p77, until the 1884 constitution, the LegCo was wholly nominated. From then on, the template has some gaps: 1889, 1894, 1896, 1901 (Henry A Will, Constitutional change in the British West Indies, p320, the book has also some data). The issue with the ORS will be a topic in which Jamaica is not the only country. From 1677 to 1863, election took place here, but it seems impossible to find out anything about them (country to small and far away, few published material etc.). If you add just the few of the dozens of elections where data is avaiable, the uninformed reader might assume that there was an election in 1677, but none druing the 18th century. My recommandation: Remove the ORS elections, and at a footnote which reads like From 1677 to 1863, election to the House of Assembly of the Old Representative System took place. No data is avaiable. You may also link the 1677 and 1863 election, where data is avaiable.-- Antemister ( talk) 22:29, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Have had a look into [127], which made this topic even more difficult: According to a letter from the governor of Ceylon from 1934, the elected institutions according the 1932 constitution "appear[s] to have existed on paper only" (p22), but some pages later (p26), it writes that in 1932 "the first formal legislative assembly came into being". The book does not write anything on elections or constitutional developements until 1952. It seems that the 1952 referendum was also a presidential election, 98% voted in favor of president Mohamed Amin Didi (p26). An elected parliament (Senate of 80, Lower House of 46 including 13 woman) came into being (in 1952 or 1953?) The parliament was dissolved after "barely a year". A new parliament was elected after Mohamed Amin Didi's death. This was in 1954. The book refers mostly to british newspapers, including the Times. Can you find something there, including the election about 1970?-- Antemister ( talk) 20:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC) Far East and Australasia 1969 (p257) tells us that 81% of the voter voted in favor in the 1968 Referendum.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Stays difficult: Ostheimer, The politics of Western Indian Ocean Islands does not have any data on election there. Did bot find a source which that decides if 1969 or 1970 was an election. According to Nohlen, die 1970 one was held in February. Assuming a five-year-term, an election in 1969 as well as 1970 seems not to be logical. My assumption: Most election were held in the late year (November), so one can assume that 1975 was postponed for some months, and the five-year-term was interrupted between 1975 and 1979. So, 1969 might be the date more logical. So add: 1954, 1959, 1964 and 1969, as well as the Suvadiva election. For the period before 1952, a had a look into [128] (many parts of it can be found here [129]). This is not more than an small small booklet, postcard size, published by the local Ministry of Information. Nothing about election is told there, although only some few sentences cover the post-1932-period. According to Ostheimer, the the Majlis (=legislature) was the appointed cabinet. SO I assume no election before 1952, but well, one cannot be really sure. Have to wait until some new book answers this question.-- Antemister ( talk) 10:46, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not really believe that this ("POV-red") template does make sense. It does not include those numerous election every year from 1918 to 1936, but the later rather western-style Zettel falten election. As those templates usually concentrate on nationwide direct elections, this one include regional ones as well as indirect election of the higher leaders. This one should be reduced to rather normal one, mentioning only the supreme soviet elections. The regional elections (what happened from 1959-1985?) as well the post-soviet ones should the transferred to the templates of the successor states.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:58, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
OK, let's continue with that topic, as I have more data. Having had a look into
(never thought that a PhD thesis of one of those backbenchers in the german state parliaments ist worth anything, but here... well, interesting to know on what kind of topic those guy write in order to obtain the two additional letters in theri name...) answered most of the questions here. Before the 1936 constitution, there were no usual western-style elctions, but the pyramide system, were the lower bodies elect the higher ones. Usually, we do not include such indirect election, but there should be some exception here. The highest body, the Congress of Soviets of the Soviet Union was elected in that way in 1922, 1924, 1925, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1935, 1936. Include them into the template. Such Congress of Soviets were also elected in the republics, usually at the same time. The "usually" (as Towster writes) is the main problem for us if we want the templates for the now-independent states. Was already able to find lists of soviet congresses for Russia [166], Belarus [167] and the Ukraine [168]. You see that Belarus had two in 1924 and one in 1926 instead 1927. Add them to the templates. hope that it will be possible to find such lists for the other now-independent states. And still we know nothing about possible local election during that time. That leads to another issue: Does it make sense to include the local elections in the templates. Is it possible to write adequate articles about them? From my german viewpoint, no, those we already have will be deleted if I translate them into german. So I recommand to remove them from the template, as well as the 1939 Western Ukraine/Western Belarus one. Only the 1987 one might be interesting the WP, as this one was the first one with more than one candidate [169]. The local and republican (but not the union one) election of 1989 were postponed to March 1990(EWY 1991) We have article about that one - the 1990 election in the templates of the now-independent states.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:33, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Additional information, taken from N N Alexejew, Die Entwicklung des russischen Staates in den Jahren 1923 bis 1925. Public elections to the local soviets took place only weeks before the congresses, but there had been delays in the elections (the book explicitely mentions 1925) of some months. In any case one can assume the the years of the congresses are also the years of the local elections. That fits in with the information about the term of "first three months, then one years, later two years". If I understand that article correctly, extraordinary congresses did not require a re-election of local soviets.-- Antemister ( talk) 10:04, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I was able to find data from Michael Craton, A History of the Bahamas (1962, an excellent book) which has relatively much data about the Bahamas Assembly. Founded in 1729, there was no fixed frequency of elections, in 1795 it was fixed to seven years. Election in 1784 and 1764, an early election in 1832, followed by one in 1839. I tried to fill in the missing years, and there are no disaccord if you use 1794, 1801, 1808, 1815, 1822, 1829, 1832, 1839, 1846, 1853, 1860, 1867, 1874, 1881, 1888, 1895, 1902, 1909. Next election 1919, due to WWI, then an election in 1927 and 1938 and 1949. One can assume that 1945 was an election, and of course an early one between 1927 and 1938. Is it possible to find find something about that? Besides this, there is a problem we have with many election during the 19th and sometimes the ealry 20th century: Not the polling day but the day of the first convention of parliament is recorded. As a read often in that book that "election were held in the late year" and "the new assembly convened in the early year", this might explain some differences of one year, and can cause minor mistakes.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
@ Antemister: I obtained the two books (The Bahamian Parliament 1729-2004 and A history of the Bahamas House of Assembly). From this I determined that there were elections in 1729, 1731 (?), 1734, 1741 (?), 1770 (?), 1772 (?), 1784, 1794, 1832, 1833, 1858, 1864, 1868, 1882, 1889, 1928 (?), 1935 (?). The 1833 one was definitely in December (the Nassau polling took place on 17 December). The book agree with what you have, so I think we can assume your other dates are probably correct. I have enough data to start two articles and possibly a couple of others. Number 57 19:24, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

The ORS was abolished in 1866 p77, until the 1884 constitution, the LegCo was wholly nominated. From then on, the template has some gaps: 1889, 1894, 1896, 1901 (Henry A Will, Constitutional change in the British West Indies, p320, the book has also some data). The issue with the ORS will be a topic in which Jamaica is not the only country. From 1677 to 1863, election took place here, but it seems impossible to find out anything about them (country to small and far away, few published material etc.). If you add just the few of the dozens of elections where data is avaiable, the uninformed reader might assume that there was an election in 1677, but none druing the 18th century. My recommandation: Remove the ORS elections, and at a footnote which reads like From 1677 to 1863, election to the House of Assembly of the Old Representative System took place. No data is avaiable.

Have had a look into [127], which made this topic even more difficult: According to a letter from the governor of Ceylon from 1934, the elected institutions according the 1932 constitution "appear[s] to have existed on paper only" (p22), but some pages later (p26), it writes that in 1932 "the first formal legislative assembly came into being". The book does not write anything on elections or constitutional developements until 1952. It seems that the 1952 referendum was also a presidential election, 98% voted in favor of president Mohamed Amin Didi (p26). An elected parliament (Senate of 80, Lower House of 46 including 13 woman) came into being (in 1952 or 1953?) The parliament was dissolved after "barely a year". A new parliament was elected after Mohamed Amin Didi's death. This was in 1954. The book refers mostly to british newspapers, including the Times. Can you find something there, including the election about 1970?-- Antemister ( talk) 20:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC) Far East and Australasia 1969 (p257) tells us that 81% of the voter voted in favor in the 1968 Referendum.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Stays difficult: Ostheimer, The politics of Western Indian Ocean Islands does not have any data on election there. Did bot find a source which that decides if 1969 or 1970 was an election. According to Nohlen, die 1970 one was held in February. Assuming a five-year-term, an election in 1969 as well as 1970 seems not to be logical. My assumption: Most election were held in the late year (November), so one can assume that 1975 was postponed for some months, and the five-year-term was interrupted between 1975 and 1979. So, 1969 might be the date more logical. So add: 1954, 1959, 1964 and 1969, as well as the Suvadiva election. For the period before 1952, a had a look into [128] (many parts of it can be found here [129]). This is not more than an small small booklet, postcard size, published by the local Ministry of Information. Nothing about election is told there, although only some few sentences cover the post-1932-period. According to Ostheimer, the the Majlis (=legislature) was the appointed cabinet. SO I assume no election before 1952, but well, one cannot be really sure. Have to wait until some new book answers this question.-- Antemister ( talk) 10:46, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not really believe that this ("POV-red") template does make sense. It does not include those numerous election every year from 1918 to 1936, but the later rather western-style Zettel falten election. As those templates usually concentrate on nationwide direct elections, this one include regional ones as well as indirect election of the higher leaders. This one should be reduced to rather normal one, mentioning only the supreme soviet elections. The regional elections (what happened from 1959-1985?) as well the post-soviet ones should the transferred to the templates of the successor states.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:58, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
OK, let's continue with that topic, as I have more data. Having had a look into
(never thought that a PhD thesis of one of those backbenchers in the german state parliaments ist worth anything, but here... well, interesting to know on what kind of topic those guy write in order to obtain the two additional letters in theri name...) answered most of the questions here. Before the 1936 constitution, there were no usual western-style elctions, but the pyramide system, were the lower bodies elect the higher ones. Usually, we do not include such indirect election, but there should be some exception here. The highest body, the Congress of Soviets of the Soviet Union was elected in that way in 1922, 1924, 1925, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1935, 1936. Include them into the template. Such Congress of Soviets were also elected in the republics, usually at the same time. The "usually" (as Towster writes) is the main problem for us if we want the templates for the now-independent states. Was already able to find lists of soviet congresses for Russia [166], Belarus [167] and the Ukraine [168]. You see that Belarus had two in 1924 and one in 1926 instead 1927. Add them to the templates. hope that it will be possible to find such lists for the other now-independent states. And still we know nothing about possible local election during that time. That leads to another issue: Does it make sense to include the local elections in the templates. Is it possible to write adequate articles about them? From my german viewpoint, no, those we already have will be deleted if I translate them into german. So I recommand to remove them from the template, as well as the 1939 Western Ukraine/Western Belarus one. Only the 1987 one might be interesting the WP, as this one was the first one with more than one candidate [169]. The local and republican (but not the union one) election of 1989 were postponed to March 1990(EWY 1991) We have article about that one - the 1990 election in the templates of the now-independent states.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:33, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Additional information, taken from N N Alexejew, Die Entwicklung des russischen Staates in den Jahren 1923 bis 1925. Public elections to the local soviets took place only weeks before the congresses, but there had been delays in the elections (the book explicitely mentions 1925) of some months. In any case one can assume the the years of the congresses are also the years of the local elections. That fits in with the information about the term of "first three months, then one years, later two years". If I understand that article correctly, extraordinary congresses did not require a re-election of local soviets.-- Antemister ( talk) 10:04, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
