I'm trying to address the problem here to avoid committing mistakes in the future. Ætoms what do you mean in the notes by saying that the results are "preliminary"? As far as I know, 100% votes have been counted and an official distribution of the seats has been released on the Electoral Commission webpage, that is the reason why the page of the elections has been updated. Apart from the fact that since there's a unique method for computing the seats distribution I doubt there'll be changes, or at least significative ones, why shouldn't we conisder the results published by the electoral commission as official and definitive? I mean, I'm using the same convention that is used in all the other cases: 100% results released --> good, we have definitive results and we can update the pages.--Fm3dici97 (talk) 12:09, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fm3dici97: The results are preliminary until the Electoral Council has published the official results, which it will do tomorrow. I agree with you that it's not likely that the seat allocation will be any different, so that's not the reason why I reverted your edit. The problem here is that you're stating in the infobox that Volt currently has 3 seats in the House of Representatives. The new House of Representatives will be installed on 31 March, so Volt does not have seats in the House of Representatives yet. Pretending that it already has 3 seats is inaccurate and misleading. ― Ætoms ^[talk] 15:22, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ætoms ok, thank you for the clarification. I'm sorry for having misinterpreted your notes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fm3dici97 (talk • contribs) 11:27, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it make more sense for now to simply expand the main article on Volt? Just having an article for the Dutch Volt chapter but none for the dozens other chapters looks rather incoherent on Wikipedia right now. Dracona94 (talk) 21:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics/Political parties regarding the inclusion of the party flag in the infobox of this article. The thread is Party flags in infoboxes. Thank you. — Ætoms ^[talk] 23:42, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
