The Global Elections Tracker indexes World News desk reports about elections and political transitions outside the U.S. and Massachusetts trackers. Those domestic tools stay at the election tracker and the Massachusetts election pages. This page does not merge the two beats.
Polls, partial counts, court challenges and certified results are labeled in the stories. This tracker does not invent a running global scoreboard or treat every poll as a final result.
Stories listed here come from The Boston Report World News desk. A report can appear in more than one section when it involves more than one country, subject or organization. Matching uses headlines, slugs and excerpts, and editor-assigned categories such as Iran, Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia. We do not have reporters on the ground.
