About

Updated 21 October 2026, the day we last read a source.

Each election has a page with its date, the status of that date in words and the source that set it. Once an official source publishes the result, the page shows it by party, with turnout and the change since the previous election.

For Germany, a poll page for the Bundestag and one for each state parliament with enough polls show the opinion polls DAWUM publishes and the average of each pollster's newest poll. A poll is what a sample said when asked, not a forecast, and no page projects seats.

Every page is generated by code from official and open data. No text on an election page is written by hand for that page.

A date is confirmed when an official source sets it, such as an electoral commission, a decree or a law, or when we read the official notice ourselves; each election page names that source. When two sources disagree, the election keeps its previous status and both claims are listed on a public page until an official source settles them.

Dates under review

We take no money from parties or campaigns, carry no political advertising and publish no betting odds. We make no forecasts and call no races, and we never show a result before polls close where the law forbids it. A result is shown as its official source states it, with its status: provisional, final or certified.

Every party is drawn in the colour its Wikidata entry gives, by one rule for all parties. Parties are named as they are registered, even where the name includes a person's.

If a date or a number differs from its official source, write to us with the page's address; the address is on the contact page. We check it against the source and answer within 30 days. A change to a published number is listed on the corrections page.

We show results by party. Results by candidate are not shown yet: we publish candidates' names only once our assessment of candidate data is adopted.
