I could possibly do election night if that's what most of us want to go for (assuming Ed is willing to let us take over Newspeak House for the whole night, and bearing in mind it's likely to be the small hours before there's much 'work' to do).

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.

For a flat-file database that's available online to a limited number of
people, a spreadsheet is perfectly adequate. It's probably heresy, but Google docs would work.
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.
