Almost elections before 1913 were made on two dates, as they were indirect election. All male citizens voted choosing the "electors" and months later the electors voted the president. The time between the two elections was large, generally six months. Therefore is very common for these elections to have occurred in two different years. The Spanish articles generally use the date for the second election, however probably the more accurate title will be for example 1902-1093 Costa Rican general election. These two levels also applied for Parliament thus almost all were general. Thus that were not general I guess can be renamed to "presidential" election only but I don't know if the term "general" is the recommended one even in those cases (after all, even if deputies were not elected, electors were). In any case, I inform you guys about it and feel free to change the titles if needed as you wish. Thank you. --[[User:Dereck Camacho|Dereck Camacho]] ([[User talk:Dereck Camacho|talk]]) 13:44, 21 December 2018 (UTC) |
