Description

2024 will be a historic milestone for democracy. There will be more than 70 elections held this year across countries that are home to nearly 4.2bn people. 2024 marks the first instance where over half of the global population resides in countries poised to hold nationwide elections. Ballots will be cast from India to Iran, Mozambique to Madagascar. While some elections promise fresh new ideas and policies, others may reward the corrupt and incompetent and cement illiberal rulers’ position.
