About election countdowns around the world
Every major election on the world calendar, counted down live: Brazil's general election on October 4, 2026, the US midterms on November 3, 2026, France's presidential vote in spring 2027, and the 2028 US presidential election already ticking on the horizon.
An election countdown is more useful than it looks — every deadline that matters counts backward from Election Day: voter registration cutoffs, mail-ballot requests, early-voting windows. Each event page breaks down what is on the ballot and how the system works, from America's Electoral College to Brazil's runoffs and France's two rounds.
We add elections as their dates become official — fixed-by-law dates (the US first-Tuesday rule) are exact from years out, while countries that set dates by decree carry an "expected" badge first. The 2026–2028 stretch is dense: bookmark this page and the next vote is never a surprise.
