Half the world has had elections so far this year
“At the start of the year The Economist suggested this “vote-a-rama” would be a “a giant test of nerves”. After all, over the past two decades freedoms—such as those for voters, the press and minorities—have declined in more countries than in those where they have increased for each of the past 18 years, according to Freedom House, an American think-tank. One in three people voting in 2024 lives in a country where the quality of elections has measurably deteriorated in the past five years”.
