[edit] Working definition

The working definition for this one is pretty clear, "federal, provincial and territorial Canadian election timelines".--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vital improvements

This is a "perfect" featured topic (all featured except Nunavut, which is not featurable). It meets current criteria perfectly well, and no changes are necessary to maintain status.--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potential improvements

A couple of the provincial articles have red links for old elections, such as List of Newfoundland and Labrador general elections and List of Prince Edward Island general elections (post-Confederation); ideally, someone should try to write articles for these. Of course all of the articles should be updated whenever there are new elections in Canada.--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible additions

The scope seems to be quite complete under a Canada-as-federal-government-that-emerged-in-1867 definition. Possible additions could be List of elections in the Province of Canada and other election timelines outside of federal Canada, such as pre-1949 Newfoundland.--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
