<li>Replace STATE with the name of the state you are working on. For example if I was editing the Maryland Voting Records Page the code would like this:</li>

<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

</pre>

<li> If you are doing a New England state; which is defined as Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont; delete the two instances of "(only for New England states)." If you are doing a state that is not in New England, delete the entire entry that are only for New England states. For example the new code for Maryland after this step would be:</li>

<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

</pre>

<li>If you are doing a Southern state; which is defined as Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia; delete the two instances of "(only for Southern States)." If you are not doing a Southern state delete the entire entries. For instance, after this step, the code for Maryland would now look like this:</li>

<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

</pre>

<li>Replace the "ST" in "<nowiki>{{ST-sidebar}}</nowiki>" with the state's postal code. If you are unsure what the state's postal code is, you can find them [https://www.infoplease.com/us/postal-information/state-abbreviations-and-state-postal-codes here]. So, after this step, my code for Maryland would now look like the following:</li>

<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

</pre>

<li>Replace YEAR with the year that women got the right to vote in your state. For all states except the following, it will be 1920. The exceptions are as following:</li>

<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

</pre>

<li>Now that the code is finished, you need to find what voter records are available online for your states. The first place that we will look is FamilySearch Historical Records</li>
