Great. Thanks for the offer to help. I'll get back to you when we're
getting closer to tackling this.


Cheers

Re: [Wikidata] Election data

Hoi,
For the majority of US states and territories  (eg Kentucky

) I have added the dates of governors holding office to Wikidata. This
information is based on lists from the English Wikipedia.  So you can
follow the transition from the different parties (do not forget parties
like the Wiggs).. When this information is complete I hope to bring this
into a query that shows the US states and territories with maps; a colour
change for the political party and a link that shows the politicians in
power at that time.

Sure there are other functions like senators, representatives lieutenant
governors.. they can be included. It is however a relevant start.
Thanks,
GerardM

Re: [Wikidata] Election data

we had a go at this during the wikidatacon 2017 in Berlin.

my take away from this session is that there is indeed an emerging pattern
for representing data related to political events, organizations,
individual and themes on wikidata but that at the of the day you will have
to make your decision to accommodate localized idiosyncrasies in the data.

you can take look at the documentation here:

Well structured political data for the whole world - impossible Utopia or
Wikidata at its best by Lucy Chambers
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017/Documentation

and the Politics Track:

[Wikidata] Election data

2018-03-11 Thread Amir E. Aharoni 
Hi,

Different countries have different processes for elections: registration of
political parties and candidates, the form of the ballot, the system for
counting the votes and dividing the seats in the legislature, etc.

I was surprised not to find almost any data about electoral history for
Israeli political parties. I also couldn't find it for other famous
political parties around the world, like CDU (Germany), Syriza (Greece), or
GOP (U.S.).

Representing it in Wikidata is somewhat challenging because of the
differences between the countries, because parties, candidates lists, and
fractions are different things, etc. But only somewhat: it definitely
doesn't sound impossible.

Is there any country whose electoral processes and history are represented
comprehensively in Wikidata? If not, were there any attempts to even
discuss it?

Thanks!
