- 1Plural of election.

Note
The counting form, used when separate contests can be told apart: two elections in one year, a run of local elections. The singular also works as an uncountable noun for the method itself (chosen by election, a seat filled through election), and in that use it takes no plural. When you mean the method rather than the events, keep the singular.
