I'd be interested in doing something a week or two after the election when the dust is starting to settle. By that time we should be able to evaluate the results and the new cabinet/ministerial appointments should be known and there'll be updates needed to various Wikipedia articles and probably biographies needing expansion.
I can't make the 7th. Election night would be fun, but as others have pointed out there's a risk of losing momentum before there are any significant edits needed.
