Wahl 2026 in Europa

Oh yea russian „elections“ where they decide that Putin and his oligarchs will continue to steal everything they can and spread misery.

I wonder who the russians will vote for this time!!!

So stupid to consider British devolved subdivisions but not German states.

internal entities of the uk are not being considered internal entities? wtf even is this map

Jersey is also having a 2026 GE

Russia’s legislative elections are mostly a formality

In France the general population will only be voting in the municipal election in 2026, in which you vote for the mayor of the commune (city, town or village) you live in. We’ll be voting in the municipal elections in March 2026.

In September 2026, half of the senate will be renewed through the vote of mayors and départements representatives. They’re elected for 6 years and the other half of the senate will be renewed in 2029.

(I had to look up all of this because as most french people probably, I had no idea how the Senate is actually elected)

For France, the most important election this year is the municipal election in march to elect new mayors for all cities and villages in France. The outcome of this election will likely tell us what’s going to happen in the senate election.

Moldovan breakaway republic Transnistria will also hold presidential elections in 2026.

Here is hoping Danes can elect government that doesn’t use 1984 as instruction manual. If they kept it to their country that would be one thing, but trying to force it on entire EU is not very nice.

The only one that really matters here is the hungarian one no?

Map is missing German states, which may be the most consequential this year, because there is one state where the AfD has a (still long but its best) shot of attaining majority: Sachsen-Anhalt.

let’s not pretend that russia is having elections, shall we?

I just never vote so I didn’t even know there will be elections.

I hope there are elections in Spain this year too.

In France the “municipales” where mayors all around France are elected will be *by far* the most important election in decades considering how fragmented we are right now.

The municipalities results will determine who is elected for the Senate

In Czechia it’s actually elections to the municipal governments. One third of the country will also vote for their senators in those elections.

Our senators hold their seat for 6 years, but not the whole senate is elected at once, instead it’s a third every 2 years. For cost saving, the senate elections are always pinned to other elections, like the municipal ones in this case.

But as the map doesn’t show municipal elections… it’s obviously not there.

What’s the difference between parliamentary and general elections?

Large Bulgaria

Are senate elections important in France ?

There might be Dutch elections again, too, since we’re now even worse than Italy when it comes to governments collapsing. These days, our governments fall faster than you can say „elections“.
