Many voting threads are harder to find, because they have incredibly bland or badly descriptive titles. But so far, I've been able to locate most of them and I'm soon going to fully finish the list.

FLAG CHALLENGE № 76: National Transition
Your nation of choice has begun a peaceful transition from one form of government to another. In the future, the new regime will completely replace the symbols of the old regime, but at present some transitional symbols are in place.
Your challenge is to produce the transitional flag, and if you so desire, the former and future flags as well. Some helpful examples from OTL: South Africa's flag; the flag of UNTAC in Cambodia; Burundi's 1966-67 progression.
Challenge ends: Monday, August 13th
Poll Closes: Monday, August 20th
A note on timing: I live in Brisbane, Australia, which is GMT+10. I'll be putting the poll up on Tuesday, my time.
Good luck

Since Akkismat hasn't showed up to kickstart a new challenge, we've decided to vote on what Round 78 should be about.

FLAG CHALLENGE № 78: Colonial Matters, Alternate Patterns
Your task is to develop a colonial flag pattern/template for a historical coloniser.
Some OTL examples of such templates (that you can use for inspiration):
- British colonial flags based on the Red or Blue Ensign, famously with a Union jack in the flag's canton (see example)
- similar French designs mimicing the above mentioned British concept with the canton
- the short-lived Imperial German national flag-based variations
- Portuguese national flag-based variations in Portuguese colonial coats of arms and flags
Naturally, you should not use any of these OTL templates in your flag, but instead make a completely new one - though one that would obviously fit the specific colonial power. If you can, create a set consisting of at least two flags: 1.) the basic template itself 2.) a flag for an OTL or ATL colony that is based off said template (i.e. a practical example of how the template is used in specific colonial flags).
(The idea was originally suggested by xt828. It won the emergency voting session for Round 78 with 15 votes.)

Thank you, though I must admit being disapointed that the result won't be settled on the field of honnour. Its been quite a long time since my blade has tasted blood (well, last time was my *own* blood. Bloody thing's sharp....).
Flag challenge 79
Flag challenge 79: All hail the chief ! (....and those other guys)
The challenge is a multiple flag one (seems popular). It consist in designing the flag of a head of government as well as that of 2 other government positions (minister, ambassador, head of department, etc....) of a nation.
2 clarifications:
- The nation chosen must have existed in OTL (self declare count) but can have a different form of government then it did here.
- The word "Nation" can be taken in a loose manner (fully sovereign country to semi autonomous province).

RICHARD IV COME FORWARD AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE !
Federal Republic of Trieste
3 said:The UN managed Free Territory of Trieste was envisaged as being a temporary entity following the end of the Second World War, with its future status likely to be division between Italy and Yugolslavia. But as negotiations and inconclusive plebiscites dragged on, Italy and Yugoslavia reluctantly agreed to an independent FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF TRIESTE, with the proviso that a UN managed plebiscite on its future be held every 25 years.

I demand a recount!!!
Seriously, how long do I have to put up a new challenge? At this time my mind (as usual) is a complete blank.

Don't worry, you'll manage. If you like, you can search this thread for the unrealized ideas suggested for the previous challenge (78). There were 4 or 5 interesting ones that we put away for later, in case a winner would have problems coming up with a new idea.
I think it's actually pretty cool that you've already won a WFC round, despite still being a freshly joined member of the board.
You want this thread here.

Its really basic. All I did was take the main colours from the banner of the Inca Empire, and dropped the snakes. But here we are...
