They used to have separate news updates for UK and World audiences.Yes, I believe they have taken every BBC general election night special since 1992, except for 2001 when Nik Gowing presented a separate programme for BBC World (presumably because the relative dullness of that election meant they didn't want to commit to too much blocking up their schedule).
More interesting is will they do anything for the Euros? Again something where they used to take the BBC UK coverage (at least since 2009, I think they had their own in 2004 and maybe earlier), even though that didn't really give the non-UK contests the level of coverage they deserved. But it's probably the most high-profile Euro-election, now von der Leyen is somewhat a household name (at least compared to her predecessors). Obviously it wouldn't be anything big, but it's presumably worthy of something on a par with the German election.
