I found both 'upcoming election' and 'forthcoming election' as use examples. What is the difference?

'Forthcoming' is slightly misused, since its expected meanings are:

- provided or available when needed or asked for

- helpful and willing to tell you things


I realize that it also means 'upcoming', but that is no longer its main use.
