My vote (haha) would be for Election Night itself, and Newspeak House is fine with me. I would definitely attend.

Is the feeling that the community would rather do an election night event than one on the 26/27th? I'm happy to facilitate either and I'm sure we could use Newspeak House.

Yes, I'm sure that's the right kind of solution for on the day and most of the potential use cases.
I'd imagine that all of the data gathered would be within scope for Wikidata, though I'm not sure whether Wikidata yet has good structures to record constituency-level election data. It would be great if it did.
