Notes
edit- Only the state, district, and chamber fields are required. All other fields are optional, and the table has logic to display the data correctly even when some fields are missing. (However, if the first field in a category is missing, all fields in that category will be assumed empty.
- state is the name of a U.S state
- for Georgia, add the parameter
|flag_image= Flag of the State of Georgia.svgto display the state flag of Georgia.
- for Georgia, add the parameter
- district is the number of a legislative district without the ordinal suffix (no "-st", "-nd", "-rd", or "-th")
- chamber is either House of Representatives, House of Delegates, Senate, State Senate, Assembly, General Assembly, State Assembly, City Council, or Legislature (for this case, see below for rep_chamber usage).
- state is the name of a U.S state
- You should not include units for any parameter, such as percent signs (%). These are provided for you.
- percent_remainder_of_multiracial is deprecated. You should use percent_multiracial instead.
- For multi-member districts, you can repeat the parameters for the representative up to 11 times.
- For districts spanning both legislatures (Arizona, Idaho, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington), use rep_chamber for each representative to signify which chamber they serve in.
