[edit] Byelections

Please don't rearrange the order of the candidate list until all polls have reported in; the candidates aren't necessarily always going to finish in the same order they're in when the results are only half in. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 02:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:CRYSTAL, Wikipedia is not supposed to guess at these things, whether they're likely or not — we wait until the results are final. For example, at this precise moment Elections Canada has El-Farouk Khaki ahead of Chris Tindal for second place in Toronto Centre, albeit only by seven votes. There's no way to tell how that one's going to go until the numbers are done. Bearcat (talk) 03:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
It isn't Wikipedia's job to give minute-by-minute updates for each individual riding as it evolves; our job is to update the people once they're declared elected or not, and then update the elections table only once the vote count settled and over with. Bearcat (talk) 03:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
