It is notable, that the list includes the 1989 elections of the Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union. This should also be included in the template. Also notable are the parliamentary elections of 1940. -- Petri Krohn 07:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the election to the USSR Congress warrants inclusion here, as it was not an election for Estonia unlike the one for Estonia's Supreme Soviet (just as I wouldn't include the Scottish part of the UK general election on the Scottish elections template). As far as I understand the 1992 Presidential election was a public ballot, whilst the 1996 election was carried out through the Riigikogu and local councillors and thus shouldn't be included. If you have any dates for local elections since 1999 I'll create a new local elections template. Number 57 08:29, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
