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, which determines the Prime Minister and makeup of the legislature in a Parliamentary democracy, or the President and then the legislature in a system where separates votes are taken for different tiers of government.

In most jurisdictions, elections are held between every three to five years. Many elections have a fixed timing according to a country's constitution, while some allow the government to dissolve Parliament, Congress or representative assembly and call a fresh vote up to a certain time limit. The elections for the government are usually the same as the elections for a representative assembly, though many countries have a separately elected President and may schedule a vote at a different date.
