How to read this.

This is a reviewed register, not a live election feed. Timers update in your browser; the underlying dates require editorial rechecking. They count down to the start of the published date in the named reference time zone, not to poll opening. Countries without a verified date do not receive an estimate.

Presidential, parliamentary and general elections differ. Each card names the specific vote. A passed date stops counting down until the register is updated.
