Featured info
Current officeholders are displayed in a chart that uses Dynamic Page Listings (DPL) to pull relevant information from an officeholders infobox.
These charts are templates, which can all be found here.
The chart highlights 4 features:
- Political position
- current state officer
- date the officer assumed office
- political party

The code for these templates is featured below. The template should be named "Template:Current NAME OF OFFICE list."
For example: {{Current Insurance Commissioner list}}.
