The '''Electorama wiki''' is the predecessor website to [[Electowiki:About electowiki|electowiki]]. As with electowiki, the goal was to describe a variety of different [[Voting system|election methods]], and their effect on the quality and timbre of elections and democracy.
 
Electowiki was started in 2005 by Dan Keshet and Rob Lanphier ([[User:RobLa|RobLa]]) as a free-content, [[w:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]-based wiki dedicated to discussing election-methods related material. It is a spinoff of [https://electorama.com electorama[Electorama.com]], which was started in 2003 by [[User:RobLa|Lanphier]] as a complementary site to the [[election-methods mailing list]] (started in 1996, also by [[User:RobLa|Lanphier]]).
