I'm not talking about generating new articles, just updating articles who's facts
will be 'changed' so to speak by the event of the elections in a timely fashion.

Politically a good idea but please remember that
wikipedia is not wikinews.
News articles trying to keep track of the elections will in all probability
be deleted by the administrators.

Love to be there but I can't sorry.
However, is it too early to discuss how to make sure we are ready to deal
with the 2013 general elections on Wikipedia? There's gonna be a huge influx
of new info (poll results, court petitions etc) that's gonna come through in
really short notice and I'd like Wikipedia to be a good up to date place for
folk to keep track.

chip in then we can settle on the ones we'd like to followup with.
