List of next general elections - Wikipedia List of next general elections This article 's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out - of - date information. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( January 2016 ) This is a list of the next general elections around the world in democratic polities. The general elections listed are for the government of each jurisdiction. These elections determine the Prime Minister and makeup of the legislature in a parliamentary democracy, or the president and then the legislature in a system where separate votes are taken for different tiers of government. In most jurisdictions, general elections are held between every three to five years, with presidential elections sometimes attaining 6 ( Mexico, Russia since a 2008 amendment ) or 7 years ( France 's septennat until 2000 ). A country 's constitution may give elections a fixed timing ( i.e. United States, Switzerland, Sweden ), while some allow the government to dissolve Parliament and call a new vote up to a certain time limit ( United Kingdom, Israel, Japan ). Some constitutions may require Parliaments to elect the Head of State under threat of dissolution ( Greece ). In most countries the election for the representative assembly determines the government. All countries in the Americas which directly elect their President, hold the Presidential and the legislative election at the same time. However, most countries in Europe split these elections and schedule them at different times. International standards set a number of rules to judge whether the election is unfair. Some countries hold staged elections, but in most the election 's outcome is the result of organized influence, as per social choice theory. Human rights violations include `` compromise of the right to participate in government through free elections '', the right to freedom of association, or the right to free expression. Elections may also be unfair if unlawful political campaign financing favours particular interest groups, or if the law implicitly favors some through this means. Last but not least, media ownership may also create significant media bias.
