The template automatically adds the transcluding page to the following categories:
- [[Category:YEAR elections in the United States by state]], with a sort key of PLACE
- [[Category:PLACE elections by year]], with a sort key of YEAR
- [[Category:YEAR in PLACE]], with a sort key of "Elections"
To suppress categorization, use |nocategories=y.
