@-A-M-B-1996- and NoGhost: Do you know how this election was held on two dates? The results table has only a single set of results, but I'm guessing there might have been an electoral college vote on the second date (or something similar)? Cheers, Number57 23:50, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was checking some newspapers from the era and it does appear that on the "primary election" held on 26 June, the citizens who were qualified to do so went to the polls to vote for electors representing different candidacies, and on 10 July the winning electors formed the Electoral College and elected the President and Vice-President. I'm still not sure exactly how these elections were supposed to have been conducted, since I know basically nothing of the electoral legislation that was in effect for these elections.
Newspaper articles talking about the 26 June "primary election":
Thanks! So are the results in the article from the primary or general vote? Cheers, Number57 15:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing those results are from the "secondary" (electoral college) vote, given that according to Fausta Gantú in SOBRE LAS PRÁCTICAS ELECTORALES DEL SIGLO ANTEPASADO (p. 16, you can find it online) there were 12,256 votes for the 1871secondary (i.e. Electoral College) election (the same figure appears in the Wikipedia article of that election, but it's misleadingly referred to as "popular vote" there), so the 18,826 votes in 1910 would seem to correspond to the Electoral College too, if we assume that new electoral sections/districts were created since 1871 and thus the number of electors for the secondary election increased.
This is all spectulation on my part, however, since I've yet to find a source explicitly saying that the 18,826 votes in 1910 correspond either to the "primary" or "secondary/Electoral college" election (and if it was the latter, I've yet to find the results of the popular/primary election).
