== About ==
:''main page: [[Electowiki:About]]''
 
'''electowiki''' is a [[wiki]] which tries to make a plethora of [[electoral systems]] more understandable for [[advocacy|advocates]] of electoral reform. It has existed since 2005, and still enjoys frequent updates. We attempt to learn from online discussions in a number of [[forum]]s, helping new participants more quickly get up to speed, and summarize the conclusions of many different discussions.
 
'''electowiki''' has a long history, divided into two phases:
 
* The '''[[Project:Electorama wiki]]''' phase (2005-2018) - prior to [[Miraheze]] hosting it.
* The '''[[Project:electowiki]]''' phase (2018-now) - the current phase as of this writing in June 2020. See [[electowiki:About]] to learn about this phase.
