The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Wikipedia states "Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in The Gambia on 10 April 2027", citing the IEC's[2] announcement of its 2026-2027 election dates.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
Research checked 25 October 2026. Boundary coverage remains unverified.
The IEC ward roster establishes 53 named constituencies. It supplies membership information, rather than geographic polygon boundaries.
Two geographic sources were inspected: 115 valid NDMA/OCHA ward polygons, marked valid on 1 September 2022, and 120 valid World Bank-derived geoBoundaries ward polygons representing 2020. Neither has a verified crosswalk to the current IEC electoral wards. Similar ward counts do not establish equivalent boundaries.
Busumbala, Old Yundum and Sanneh Mentereng divide older coastal ward groupings. Whole-ward unions would therefore need additional verified cut lines.
Still needed: current IEC/GBOS ward polygons or georeferenced legal boundaries, particularly for those three coastal seats, reconciled with all 53 constituencies. No administrative map has been relabelled as a complete electoral layer.
