– Aritcles usually use the same naming format with "local elections" in relation to elections that take place both 1st (regional) and 2nd (municipial) tier-level administrative subdivisons of a country. As original creator of the page, I had little knowledge of the article naming format when I made this page back in 2021 given the fact after the 2021 municipal elections was created. The difference is that the July 2021 elections were used to elect directly the mayors of only rural districts and towns which are essentially forms of municipalities while the January 2021 local election was used to elect councillor seats in regional and district legislatures and should be named as "local elections" similarly like the 2022 Scottish local elections is.

- Support "legislative" is unnecessary. Number 57 12:13, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- And re the comments below, I would also support merging 2021 Kazakh municipal elections into this article (when it is moved). Articles like 2021 United Kingdom local elections deal with elections to multiple types of local government bodies, and avoids having separate articles on county council, district council, unitary authority elections.

- But the 2021 UK local elections were held in one general date while these two elections were separate differentiated events, so how would you even write multiple dates at once in infobox especially? ShadZ01 (talk) 03:09, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- 2022 Swiss referendums were held on different dates. As long as the title is not exclusionary, I don't see an issue. In terms of the infobox, you could embed the infoboxes and have different dates for the different types of councils being elected (see, for example 2021 Peruvian general election, where the dates are different for the presidential and legislative elections).

Comment Pasting previous comments from WP:RMT below. 162 etc. (talk) 18:19, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- This is a confusing situation and I think it would benefit from discussion, since both the Mäslihats and the äkims are "local", and there isn't much consistency between different articles (e.g. we also have 2021 Nur-Sultan City Mäslihat election). Furius (talk) 18:46, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Mäslihat elections took place regionally and municipally which is what defines as "local", but the äkim elections only happened in rural and township districts and not in region-tier divisions, which to me are defined as "municipal". ShadZ01 (talk) 22:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- If "Mäslihat elections took place regionally and municipally" it seems awkward to define äkim elections as "municipal". Is that common usage in English language sources? (Are there English language sources?). I'm wondering whether it would be better to just call them mäslihat elections and äkim elections? Furius (talk) 23:46, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
