World elections coverage on this page collects World News desk reports about votes, parliamentary math, recounts and government-formation mandates outside the Massachusetts and U.S. election trackers. It is not a substitute for the U.S. election tracker or Massachusetts election pages, which stay at their original addresses.
Recommendations from lawmakers, poll snapshots and certified results are different things; our stories say which is which. This page does not treat a mandate to try to form a government as if that government already exists. See also the Global Elections Tracker.
