So I found these on my hard drive. They're infoboxes I made for my first ever TL here in AHC, a TL featuring fictional politicians set in a 'verse very similar to ours in terms of the issues. In this TL, the Reapportionment Act of 1929 was repealed in the 2000's, so the number of electoral votes rises with the population with each census.

The National Union Party for forty-four years straight, and if one counts the election of National Whig President Seward in 1860 forty-eight years. The NUP has overseen a period of unprecedented wealth in America, although many claim that this wealth is unfairly concentrated toward the top. Nonetheless American prestige is at a high point, with the Great White Fleet having recently completed its circumnavigation of the globe. While tensions continue to simmer in the South with the so-called 'Knights of the Invisible Empire.' growing bolder and bolder in their attacks on both Federal and private property.

The Party met at its quadrennial gathering in the Chicago Coliseum where President Hearst and Vice President Bryan were renominated unanimously. Meanwhile police quelled a violent outburst by anarchists outside the convention to prevent it from affecting traffic. Some concerns were raised by the appearance of a Populist fusion ticket with the Progressive Greenback and Workingmens' Parties and promptly dismissed as a threat.

Canada's 2024 Presidential elections provide you a good case study of what not to do with the write-in box.

"The Chief Electoral Officer has sent the official count of the number of votes cast in the First Round of the Presidential Election as follows: His Excellency the Right Honourable Michael Chong, President of the Republic, Conservative Party, 6,234,118 votes[...]No candidate has recieved the required amount of votes. His Excellency the Right Honourable Michael Chong, President of the Republic, and the Honourable Brian Gallant, Senator for New Brunswick, have been nominated as candidiates for the Second Round. Polling Day for the Second Round will be the 4th Day of November."

"Write-in Candidiates is an American-style gimmick which should not have been used in the 2024 elections[...]Take Senator May, for instance. She was outvoted by a Cartoon Pastel Horse[...]had, say, that Cartoon Horse actually won the election, it wouldv'e meant a Constitutional Crisis[...]or at least bringing a piece of a Fan Convention to Rideau Hall, just because the voters want a fictional charcter as the most powerful person in Canadian politics."
~A Crossbencher (Saskatchewan Party) Senator, speaking after the reading to the vote count.

"My Fellow Canadians, I look forward, as I did in 2019, for another five years as your President."
~Excerpt from Michael Chong's Nomination Speech

The 2024 Canadian Presidential Election was the second pentennial Presidential Election held in Canada.

The first round ended with the selection of incumbent President Michael Chong and Senator Brian Gallant as second round participants, as neither of them received a majority of votes cast in the first round. In the Second Round, Chong has recieved a 54% majority of votes.

As Canadian electoral rules require the votes to be cast directly by the voters for both president and vice president (unlike in the US, in which the votes are cast for Electors, who vote for the president and vice president separately), both Chong and incumbent Vice President Andrew Scheer were elected for a second term.

Similarly to the 1978 elections in Finland, the monotonous reading of the vote count in a "Candidate's name, candidate's party/Independent/Write-in, votes cast" format by Senate President Scott Simms before a Joint Session of Parliament, including the counts for frivolous Write-in candidates (such as "Vive le Québec libre!, Write-in, 807,503 votes", "Pinkie Pie, Write-in, 661,750 votes", and "Cthulhu, Write-in, 296,183 votes"), and the fits of laughter with which several senators and MPs responed to those counts, is well-recognised in Canadian popular culture, and broadly quoted and paraphrased.
