  • Where to find election data (per candidate) in formats such as csv & xlsx?
  • Cool queries to showcase what this could be useful for
  • Similarly, ideas how to use this on the (Dutch) Wikipedia

Questions / Problems edit

  • What to do if the candidate party is a cooperation of two parties, such as SGP-ChristenUnie?
  • What if an election covers a few days, including one official date (like 2021 and 2022)
