A minimum of 70 countries have national elections scheduled in 2012, whilst a further 9 are very likely to. A further eight countries are reasonably likely to hold elections, either because the end of a flexible term is approaching within two years, or because of transitions in power. Thus barring exceptional circumstances, between 70 and 87 countries are expected to hold national elections between January 1st and December 31st 2012. Among these, internationally significant elections will definitely be taking place in the United States, Taiwan (Republic of China), Egypt, Syria, France, Russia, Iran, Burma, Greece, Ukraine and the People's Republic of China (running into 2013).
Major indriect elections will also take place in four countries. Ordinary electors will not participate in these indirect elections, two of which are for Presidents, one for a Head of Government and one for a Senate.

Many communist and authoritarian countries hold elections; however, those elections are seldom considered free and fair.
There are currently 50 countries in Europe. It is unknown as to how many countries will exactly come to be.
Throughout world history there have been thousands and thousands of elections. Everything from class presidents in schools to heads of states in countries. To take just one type of election in one country, there have been 57 U.S. Presidential elections, and the U.S. has had 44 Presidents. Other countries have had more elections. Then you have elections for all sorts of other positions in countries, towns, cities, organisations etc. So it would not be known how many elections there have been.
