Hi @Davidpar, I'm trying to update the current deputies of the congress. I've seen you have created Q61744692 . My question now: what's exactly the difference to Q48834963 and can they be merged? Thank you!

It's something that is done also in previous Spanish general elections wiht @Asqueladd:. The scheme is: General elections have two subclasses of elections: elections to the Spanish Congress and elections to the Senate (ex: Q61744680). For intance, a politician can be the #1 list candidate of a party in the elections of the Congress, and not in the Senate.

Hi. While vis-à-vis election/votes data should ultimately be stored through items for individual constituencies, the general "election to the Congress/election to the Senate" scheme (while fitting in any case) also allows to store total data (for votes) and also (temporarily) constituency data when there are no constituency-deep items (for example regarding candidates standing for a election, using electoral district (P768) as qualifier for any target for candidacy in election (P3602)). In any case, I must point out a (potential) discrepancy. There is some problematic overlap with some French language Wikipedia articles (titled as "XXXX general election in Y constituency), of no use for wikidata, me thinks. Given their current state (they just deal with the election to the Congress) I cannot do anything but recommend renaming them buuuut, you know that meanwhile as far as something has a Wikipedia entry, their notability as item is presumed. I tried to disentangle those from the "XXXX Congress of Deputies election in Madrid" es:wikipedia articles (as someone merge them), but the best way to procceed should probably just ask for renaming in the local wikipedia to refer to the Lower House. @Tomukas

Thanks for the explanation. I'll try to take this into account when updating them.
