When is the Nicaragua general election 2027?

Polling day is 2027-11-07, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the Co-Presidency of the Republic race be official?

Expected between 2027-11-18T06:00:00Z and 2027-12-16T05:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Ley 1242 art. 143: once the appeal periods lapse or appeals are resolved, the CSE declares the Co-Presidente and Co-Presidenta elected by resolution, published in La Gaceta; art. 9(14) makes the CSE's definitive count and declaration its own act, and art. 117: no appeal lies against its definitive electoral resolutions, so there is no court stage. Revision: 72 h to file after the provisional publication, 72 h for the parties' answer, then 5 days to resolve (arts. 115(3), 116). 2021 precedent: the 'Proclamación de Electos' resolution is dated 25 Nov 2021 at 15:00 (day 18; CSE certification) and was published in La Gaceta and announced on 26 Nov 2021 (calendar activities 36-37; CSE press note). The opening (Thu 18 Nov 2027, three days after a precedent-timed provisional publication) is an ESTIMATED floor. The window errs late: it closes at the end of Wed 15 Dec 2027 local, about three weeks past precedent; inauguration is 9-10 Jan 2028 under the law in force.
