Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

The word "Legislative" is generally not used in subnational elections. The way I understand this is when there is a president, the elections for the legislature (if unicameral) are named "Fooian legislative election, <year>"; see
French legislative election, 2007 and
Philippine legislative election, 1935. If bicameral and both legislatures are elected, it's either both chambers are named "Fooian <name of chamber> election(s), <year>" or one chamber is named "Fooian general election, <year>" then the other is named ""Fooian <name of chamber> election(s), <year>". For bicameral systems, there can be one general article for the election for the legislature called "Fooian legislative election, <year>". There are further designations for federal systems. –HTD (

must be a regional thing then. where i am its the other way round.
No. It is NOT a regional thing. Type "legislative elections," (with the comma) a click the magnifying glass at the search box. Countries such as Mexico, France, Romania, Croatia, Venezuela, etc. use that format. For local elections either its also "general" or "legislative" or even "local" or whatever position is contested: "gubernatorial," "mayoral," etc.
It IS a regional thing because ALL regions do NOT use that. See provincial indian elections for example. Maybe its the commonwealth then.

Eh... if not all regions use that it is not a "regional thing." For it to be a regional thing it should be used by a majority of countries in one "region." "Legislative" election are usually used in elections for unicameral legislatures when there is a president except in some circumstances. –HTD (

not at all. the same way you have regional variations of language (am. br. aus. ind. and other forms of english, for example), you have regional uses. no "majority" status determines it.

Oh thats what you meant by region. I was talking about the regional variations of the term "legislative election".

It seems that "legislative election," and "parliamentary election" less so, is used in countries where there is an elected head of state (France, Czech Republic, Venezuela); if the head of state is non-elective, the election for the legislature is at "Foo general election, year" (UK, Japan, Belgium), while the odd ones are the Italian general elections articles. –HTD (

"Foo legislative election, year" is not restricted to one region, or to subnational elections. There are no "regional variations" of the term "legislative election." They're based on the prevailing practices and not on "regional varieties" whatever they may be. –HTD (

Polls
These polls are highly distorted now, we need to sort it by the poll taker because each has WIDELY disparate figures.

Keeping Parties In Parliament In The Infobox
An anonymous user keeps deleting three of the five parties elected to the parliament without explanation. I've reverted these changes as vandalism. If the user would care to make a case for restricting the infobox format, this is the place to do it.
