Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Election Index every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
dataset
dataset_health
Coverage, stale records, races still lacking a results page, and publisher-gate warnings, as counts with the first 20 of each (full report at /v1/health). Use to judge how far to trust an answer.
election
election_status
Full record of one election: races, polls-close times, every count stage window (exit poll, election night, intermediate count, final result, government) with confidence and citation, the authority, sources, recorded vote counts, whether the record is stale, whether a poll-publication ban (poll_blackout) applies now, and when the exit poll is expected (exit_poll).
next
next_election
The next elections in one country, however far ahead: polling day and whether it is declared, still tentative, or only expected within a period, what is elected, the counting authority, and when results are expected. Answers "When is the next election in Austria?" or "When are the US midterms?". National elections by default; level "regional" answers "When are the next state elections in Germany?". Covers 390 elections in 100 countries, 2021–2030, including 23 of the 27 EU member states, the 2026 US midterms in all 50 states and the certified 2024 US presidential result, with vote counts, in all 50 states and DC.
poll
poll_blackout
Whether a country bans publishing opinion polls before a vote, checked now: verdict ban / no-ban / exit-polls-only / unverified, when a ban starts and ends (polls close), whether it is in force, the law and article, and the official text it was read in. Answers "Can I publish a poll in Spain this week?" or "When does the poll blackout end in Serbia?". Give an election id, or a country for its next vote. "unverified" means we hold no verified rule: it is not a finding that polls are allowed. Not legal advice.
pollster
pollster
A pollster's final published poll before each election we hold a certified result for, set against that result: share per party or candidate, error in points, mean absolute error, and the error on the winner's margin. Figures come from the pollster's own release or a registry, never an aggregator. Measured facts, not grades: nothing is ranked. Answers "How accurate was Novus in Sweden 2026?". Give a pollster id or name.
question
check_question
Is a question about a given count stage answerable at a given time? Returns verdict ok / too-early / inside-window / too-late, settle_after, and the resolvable sources. Built to stop questions that read the provisional count when they mean the final one.
resolution
resolution_sources
Every known source URL for a race, classified (race_results, feed, results_index, emb_home, directory, media). Only race_results and feed can answer a results question; homepages never can. A results page whose HTML shows no count once one is due (figures_in_html false) is not resolvable. Sources a settlement oracle has answered from come first (oracle_reads). For our own copy of the count, see secondary_source in check_question.
submit
submit_correction
Report a mistake or a missing election, with a URL that proves it (ideally the official authority page). The report is public and is checked like any other claim; it never changes the data by itself. Returns the report id; follow it at https://electionindex.org/corrections.
upcoming
upcoming_elections
List elections by date range and/or country, soonest first, with each race's expected count stage right now. Answers "Which elections are in Europe this autumn?", "Which elections are this month?" or "What elections does Germany have coming up?". Without dates it starts today; with a country and no end date it covers every future election of that country, otherwise the next 365 days. Covers 390 elections in 100 countries, 2021–2030, including 23 of the 27 EU member states, the 2026 US midterms in all 50 states and the certified 2024 US presidential result, with vote counts, in all 50 states and DC.
when
when_final
When will a race's final (certified) result exist? Returns the expected window, its confidence (announced / precedent / estimate) and basis, how many days the final took last time, and the final count itself once we hold it. Use this before asking or settling any "final result" question.

Election Index — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Election Index do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_question, dataset_health, election_status, next_election, poll_blackout, pollster and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Election Index working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 322 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Election Index?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Election Index need an API key?
No. Election Index completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Election Index?
It answers our handshake in 322 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
