Template talk:Serbian elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Okay, a couple of issues here.

1. Were there one or two referenda in 2002 on national symbols and constitutional changes?
2. Whether it's for an entirely new constitution or just for changes, the name should still be "constitutional referendum".
3. If there were more than one election in a given year, they have to be disambiguated by month, i.e. Serbian presidential election, January 2002 and Serbian presidential election, February 2002. If you know which months they were held in, it makes sense to redlink them; if you don't, it doesn't. Never mind, I figured this one out.
4. Templates like *THIS* one should be used at the very bottom of the article and be centered; templates like {{Politics of Serbia}} are meant to be used at the top of articles.

I think that's about it. —Nightstallion (?) 00:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Another question, though: Why wasn't the second presidential election of 2002 also invalid? The turnout was less than 50% again, right? I assume this was only a repetition of the second round, so to say, so that the minimum turnout did not apply any longer per this amendment? —Nightstallion (?) 01:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

You mean in 1992? The answer is YES.

And yeah, the second 2002 presidential election failed too.

I have a suggestion - why not list here the Vojvodina and Kosovan elections too? --PaxEquilibrium 13:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Go for it.--Hadžija 13:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that would make the template overly complicated, and in addition the elections template series does not include local/regional elections. Ideally Kosovo and Vojvodina should have their own elections template Number 57 14:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

So the 2003 presidential election was the re-run of the failed December 2002 re-run of the failed September–October 2002 election? Curious. Another question: Which months were the 1992 referenda held in? We need it for the template, to dab the pipelinks. —Nightstallion (?) 16:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

No. The 2004 presidential election was the re-run of the failed 2003 re-run of the failed December 2002 re-run of the failed September-October 2002 presidential election. The 1992 Constitutional changes referendum was held on 11 October. About the National symbols I have no idea - I only heard through rumors that such a referendum ever occurred. --PaxEquilibrium 21:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Mh. And they changed the law on necessary turnout before the last attempt in 2004? Should we remove the doubtful referendum? I've done so for now. —Nightstallion (?) 22:28, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure were there any laws. That would be disrespectful towards the citizens who obcviously did not want a president (as per the elections). You see, the 2004 Presidential election is the first one that succeeded in the history. All pre-2000 (and post-1990) [1992, failed 1997, successful 1997] elections were rigged. With the establishment of democracy, the people needed a long time to get used to the system in which there's no vote theft - and take the responsibility themselves (almost damn 4 years it seems). --PaxEquilibrium 16:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I know that the elections between 1997 and 2004 were all failures due to turnout below 50%, and that they had to be repeated because of this -- but the 2004 election also had turnout lower than 50%, so the law must have been changed before the last attempt, right? —Nightstallion (?) 16:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I believe so. --PaxEquilibrium 21:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

One more question: sr:Шаблон:Избори у Србији lists another constitutional referendum in 1990 (which I added) and some more elections to the SFRY and FRY parliaments. As Serbia is the successor state to FRY, at least that election should somehow appear in this template, likely also the SFRY ones...? —Nightstallion (?) 16:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard of that Constitution nor could found a source after an hour of searching. And no. There is no reason to put the Yugoslav elections there (why would you?). --PaxEquilibrium 21:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Mh, okay, then I'll remove it again. We should put it there because all elections for legal predecessor states of Zimbabwe are included in {{Zimbabwean elections}}... —Nightstallion (?) 22:28, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

That's different - the two do not overlap. In here, parliamentary elections for the Republic of Serbia were held parallel with the elections of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Then there are elections for the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro too. --PaxEquilibrium 16:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Mh, you've got a point there. —Nightstallion (?) 23:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The template lacks 2000 presidential elections. 217.198.224.13 01:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

No it doesn't - there were no presidential elections in 2000 in the Republic of Serbia. --PaxEquilibrium 21:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Never-held elections

Should we add to the template elections which were officially scheduled and prepared for 1914? They were first delayed because of the outbreak of the Great War, ending never even held in the end. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 23:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Mh. I don't know... —Nightstallion 08:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
