2022 Malaysian General Election
The 2022 Malaysian general election, formally the 15th Malaysian general election (GE15; Malay: ''Pilihan raya umum ke-15''), was held on Saturday, 19 November 2022 to elect the 222 members of the Dewan Rakyat in the 15th Parliament of Malaysia. The prospect of a snap election was high due to the 2020–2022 Malaysian political crisis. Political instability caused by coalition or party switching among members of Parliament, combined with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia, contributed to the resignation of two prime ministers and the collapse of each of their respective coalition governments since the 2018 Malaysian general election. The 14th Parliament of Malaysia was due to expire on 16 July 2023, five years after the first meeting of the first session of the 14th Parliament on 16 July 2018. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia), Abdullah of Pahang, dissolved the legislature at the request of the incumbent prime minister, Ismail Sabri Yaakob, on 10 Octo ...

2022 Dominican General Election
Snap general elections were held in Dominica on 6 December 2022. Background On 6 November 2022 (three days after independence day), Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit called a snap election "to ensure the continued renewal" of his government.

General elections were held on 2 October 2022 in Brazil to elect the president, vice president, the National Congress, the governors, vice governors, and legislative assemblies of all federative units, and the district council of Fernando de Noronha. As no candidate for president—or for governor in some states—received more than half of the valid votes in the first round, a runoff election for these offices was held on 30 October. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva received the majority of the votes in the second round and became president-elect of Brazil. Incumbent far-right president Jair Bolsonaro was seeking a second term. He had been elected in 2018 as the candidate of the Social Liberal Party but left that party in 2019, followed by the resignation or dismissal of many of his ministers during his term.

Snap general elections were held in Saint Kitts and Nevis on 5 August 2022, following the decision of incumbent prime minister Timothy Harris to dissolve the parliament on 11 May.
