Detailed whitepaper on rigging

PTI released a comprehensive whitepaper on election rigging (not sure if its official) but its covering pre-poll and poll rigging with references from reliable independent sources. This white paper seems valuable and could serve as a basis for expanding this article further, although the whitepaper itself cannot be used as a reference. Saqib (talk) 20:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

I believe it is official and is being released by the PTI team, I think it is a good idea to use information from it on the Allegations of Rigging in the 2024 Pakistani general election page. Titan2456 (talk) 15:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Imran Khan image

@WikiEnthusiast1001 we should be adding the most contemporary/recent images, the most recent one is from June 2023. Titan2456 (talk) 11:45, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

@Wallu2 and Titan2456: Guys please stop your edit warring over the image of Khan. --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 10:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@Wallu2 Agreed. Better to provide reasons for why to use each image here, before making changes to the main page. I think we should use the other image as it is higher quality. Titan2456 (talk) 15:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

By elections

Add by election of 21 April 2024 create new page plss 93.147.6.158 (talk) 21:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ainty Painty, Muzzzmuzzmuzzz, and Masterpha: We certainly need a standalone page dedicated to the by-election held today, covering the 21 seats. Despite the small number of seats, this is a significant by-election. Would anyone of you be interested in taking the lead on creating it? --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 12:21, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I was hesitant since last time I created October 2018 Pakistani by-elections, I could not update it and no one else did it as well. Also, there is an issue of having only 25 constituencies and that too dispersed among five different assemblies. I believe there are only 2/3 National Assembly seats up for grabs. My suggestion would be to have a separate section under current articles for respective assemblies to cover these results. I don’t think there is a need for five more articles.

2024 Pakistani by-elections – Ainty Painty (talk) 01:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

National Assembly shown

Like done to British elections, I am adding the National Assembly after the election underneath the election map to every Pakistani election. Currently, the 2024, 2018, 2013, 1985, 1970 and 1977 elections all have National Assembly depictions and I will add them, putting this here so I know if anyone opposes this.

It shouldn't be there – the section is for maps, not parliamentary diagrams. Parliamentary diagrams go on the results table. Cheers, Number 57 21:10, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Also, it's a bit misleading to say the other articles have it in the infobox (which suggests they have been there for some time) when you only added them to the articles today. Number 57 21:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

When did I say other election articles have it, it is done to every single British election, and Pakistan and Britain share relatively the same electoral system. Also, the main point of a general in Pakistan is to elect the National assembly so it should be shown. Titan2456 (talk) 21:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

You said "Currently, the 2024, 2018, 2013, 1985, 1970 and 1977 elections all have National Assembly depictions". Number 57 21:34, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I am not saying it should not be shown – I am saying it should be in the results table, where I have moved it to. Cheers, Number 57 21:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

You misunderstood 😅, they dont have depictions added, they have depictions (images on commins) to be added, the rest of the elections dont have any National Assembly images. Titan2456 (talk) 21:36, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah my bad, apologies. Hope the other point makes sense though. Number 57 21:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
