when was the last election

Here’s a direct answer: the concept of “the last election” depends on the country or jurisdiction you have in mind, since elections occur at different times worldwide (national, regional, local) and on varying schedules. If you specify a country, region, or type of election (presidential, parliamentary, local, by-election), I can provide the most recent election date and key details for that specific case. If you meant the most recent national elections globally, there isn’t a single global election—they are staggered by country. For example, the United States held its most recent nationwide presidential election in 2020, with elections for Congress also occurring in 2020 and midterm cycles in 2022, while other countries had different dates such as 2024 or 2025 for their general elections, depending on their constitutional calendars. If you want, specify a country and I’ll give you the exact date and outcome for its latest election.
