First elections you can recall

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Poland:
1995 presidential. It was absurdly close and it wasn't until the next morning the results were declared. I cried because I liked Wałęsa (mostly because of his moustache).

United States:
1996 presidential. I remember when they showed Pat Buchanan (wearing an idiotic hat) on TV after he won NH primary. I also recall my grandparents, who were more to the right, supporting Clinton, because Dole "is too old".

United Kingdom:
1997. I only vaguely remember it, being surprised John Major is no longer Prime Minister, but some other dude. I knew by then Conservatives lost, but was not aware of Labour's existence.

France:
I vaguely remember something about the 1997 parliamentary election.

Germany:
1998. I mostly recall TV showing younger Germans, saying Kohl had been in power too freaking long.

Russia:
1996. Some people in the media were freaking out that if Zyuganov wins, he'll bring back the Soviet Union.
