Use quotes around candidate names for precise matches. Look for primary sources like electoral commission statements, court documents and official gazettes before you trust secondary summaries. Pay attention to update dates — a story from 2016 may have a follow-up in 2018 or later that changes the record. If you are compiling data, save links and note publication dates so you can build a timeline. For students or researchers, try combining this tag with terms like policy change, constitutional reform or post-election violence to find specialized reporting. If you need help finding archived material, email our newsroom with the country, date range and topic and we'll point you to relevant pieces or push older reports into the front page for easier access.
