Should the word statewide be capitalized?

The word "statewide" is not capitalized unless it's part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence.

Here are some examples:

Not capitalized:

* The statewide election results are in.

* The program will be implemented statewide.

Capitalized:

* The Statewide Education Initiative is a success.

* Statewide, voter turnout was low. (Capitalized because it starts a sentence)

Important Note:

If "statewide" is part of a proper noun, such as a specific program or organization, then it should be capitalized. For example:

* The California Statewide Voter Registration System.
