Election Index

Is a question about a given count stage answerable at a given time? Returns verdict ok / too-early / inside-window / too-late, settle_after, and the resolvable sources. Built to stop questions that read the provisional count when they mean the final one.

check_question

Coverage, stale records, races still lacking a results page, and publisher-gate warnings, as counts with the first 20 of each (full report at /v1/health). Use to judge how far to trust an answer.

dataset_health

Full record of one election: races, polls-close times, every count stage window (exit poll, election night, intermediate count, final result, government) with confidence and citation, the authority, sources, recorded vote counts, and whether the record is stale.

election_status

The next elections in one country, however far ahead: polling day and whether it is declared, still tentative, or only expected within a period, what is elected, the counting authority, and when results are expected. Answers "When is the next election in Austria?" or "When are the US midterms?". National elections by default; level "regional" answers "When are the next state elections in Germany?". Covers 411 elections in 100 countries, 2021–2030, including 23 of the 27 EU member states, the 2026 US midterms in all 50 states and the certified 2024 US presidential result, with vote counts, in all 50 states and DC.

next_election

Every known source URL for a race, classified (race_results, feed, results_index, emb_home, directory, media). Only race_results and feed can answer a results question; homepages never can.

resolution_sources

Report a mistake or a missing election, with a URL that proves it (ideally the official authority page). The report is public and is checked like any other claim; it never changes the data by itself. Returns the report id; follow it at https://electionindex.org/corrections.

submit_correction

List elections by date range and/or country, soonest first, with each race's expected count stage right now. Answers "Which elections are in Europe this autumn?", "Which elections are this month?" or "What elections does Germany have coming up?". Without dates it starts today; with a country and no end date it covers every future election of that country, otherwise the next 365 days. Covers 411 elections in 100 countries, 2021–2030, including 23 of the 27 EU member states, the 2026 US midterms in all 50 states and the certified 2024 US presidential result, with vote counts, in all 50 states and DC.

upcoming_elections

When will a race's final (certified) result exist? Returns the expected window, its confidence (announced / precedent / estimate) and basis, how many days the final took last time, and the final count itself once we hold it. Use this before asking or settling any "final result" question.
