Below are examples of single-choice polar questions, as well as a non-polar example with multiple options.

![]() Results by county |
Use the model code below before an election for a referendum is held. Oregon Ballot Measure 56 (2008) is used as an example to the right.
((Infobox referendum
| name = Measure 56
| title = Amends Constitution: Provides That May And November Property Tax Elections Are Decided By Majority Of Voters Voting
| location =
| date = ((Start date|2018|11|04|df=y))
| yes =
| no =
| total =
| electorate =
| map = Oregon election results-ELECTION NOT YET.svg
| mapdivision =
| notes =
))
Keep in mind that, though the parameters yes
, no
, total
, electorate
, and mapdivision
are blank, they should not be deleted. This makes it inconvenient to add data later.
Once election day arrives, the image can be changed to File:Oregon election results-PENDING.svg. After the polls have closed and start announcing returns, start putting the data into the template, updating as often as reasonable. Use the notes
parameter to cite the source of the election-night returns.

The following code produces the table to the right:
((Infobox referendum
| name = Measure 56
| title = Amends Constitution: Provides That May And November Property Tax Elections Are Decided By Majority Of Voters Voting
| yes = 959118
| no = 735500

))
The parameters yes
, no
, total
, and electorate
take only values without commas. The template automatically formats the numbers when displayed by inserting commas.

are specified, the total
parameter will be used for computing the total number of votes.invalid
, but leave the value blankelectorate
and the total number of votes, if electorate
is specified.The California Secretary of State's website prominently displays results for the latest election. Results are also available as far back as June 1990 on another page at the website. Before 2000, results are listed in a single document, both the statement of vote (which is brief) and the supplement to the statement of vote (which is highly detailed). Starting in 2000, results are organized into a table of contents.
The Oregon Secretary of State's website maintains an online record of detailed election results going back to 1995-12-05. Results by county for each ballot measure since then are included. Statistics on voter registration (fitting the electorate
parameter) and participation/turnout (the total
parameter) is available alongside the official results for each election.
Basic data (i.e., without results by county) on all ballot measures in Oregon history can also be found in the online edition of the Oregon Blue Book. Voter registration information going back to 1950 is also provided.
The following images can be used in place of an election results map when none can be made:
