Votes & Seats

[edit]

How about that this template can also calculate the percentages out of the seats and votes?

Template:Election results can this too Braganza (talk) 18:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Gallagher Index ranges from 0 to 100. Low indexes (close to 0)
are very proportionate, high indexes (20 or greater) are very disproportionate.

Maybe with an option were you can decide if you want to use percentages as before or votes like in Election results (like "|type="). Also the "|election=" could remain but should be optional.
