Talk:2024 Taiwanese presidential election

Inconsistent presentation of numbers in table

Votes by region table uses a mixture of commas and full stops for numbers. e.g. 2.7% and 2,68%. It breaks the table when you try to sort it by order. Is it possible to make these all full stops? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:111E:9201:D035:6614:28D6:A543 (talk) 15:47, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Though I personally recognize the RoC as the legitimate government of China, titling the page "2024 Republic of China presidential election" or something like that is unreasonable. If anything, it would be "2024 Chinese presidential election", but I think you can see the potential issue with that. Taiwanese is the most apt and the least ambiguous way to describe it. Also, if you put RoC in the page name, I guarantee you will get mass vandalism from the 50 cent army. GigaDerp (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:COMMONNAME, "2024 Taiwanese presidential election" is the appropriate article name. In addition, this is WP:CONSISTENT with other examples such as 2022 South Korean presidential election, 2021 Japanese general election, and 2023 Ivorian senatorial election. It definitely would not be "2024 Chinese presidential election" because this is (1) not the common name for the ROC and (2) is the common name for the PRC thus invites unneeded confusion.

Shouldn't the candidates be arranged differently?

The election ballot would show as following: 1. Ko Wen-Je, TPP 2. Lai Ching-te, DPP 3. Hou Yu-Ih, KMT The Chinese versions of the page all arranged the candidates in this order, should we do so too? ChangingDepresso (talk) 01:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Section move proposal

I propose that the 'Opinion polling' section be moved to Opinion polling for the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election. It's happened for previous elections and the numerous tables clutter up the main page. The graph and potentially the post-registration polling should stay, but the other tables deserve their own page. Quinby (talk) 11:44, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

• Comment The opinion polling is full of embedded links, contrary to WP:Avoid embedded links. Nigej (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
• Support section move — Four humongous tables and a rather pretty graph do take up quite a lot of space, and after the election is over they're not very relevant anymore. Toadspike (talk) 17:13, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
• Support, though I believe you should have taken bold action and done this without a proposal.

I've split the article, and decided only to keep the graph on 2024 Taiwanese presidential election, to match 2020 Taiwanese presidential election and Opinion polling for the 2020 Taiwanese general election, as well as 2012 Taiwanese presidential election and Opinion polling for the 2012 Taiwanese presidential election.

Overseas

Does Taiwan allow overseas voting? It would be interesting if numbers do exist. Borgenland (talk) 12:09, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

It isn't allowed according to this (people have to return in-person to vote). Number 57 12:36, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
