2019 Philadelphia municipal election article

Hello Average Pennsylvanian, Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. With regard to the article 2019 Philadelphia municipal election created by you, I would be obliged if you could update the references for the election results, as the provided URLs do not lead to the intended information page. Regards. QEnigma 论 09:12, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I've changed the references to sources that more directly state the election results. I will say that it may be more challenging to find similar sources for older election results compared to the Excel or CSV files the official Philadelphia election office provides, which were my previous references. I'll try my best on older elections, but those Excel/CSV file links should be a secondary source at least. Average Pennsylvanian (talk) 09:31, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
