YOU DON'T "CELEBRATE" AN ELECTION IN ENGLISH During the recent elections in Spain I noticed that quite a lot of Spanish people say "We are going to "celebrate" the election next week". In English, we don't "celebrate" an election, we normally say: "There is going to be an election next week" or "We are going to have an election next week". We use the verb "celebrate" in connection with birthdays and other parties but not in connection with an election. Hope that helps!
