Why the biggest election year in world history threatens democracy

2024 will be the largest single election year in human history, with voters representing more than 40 per cent of the world’s population going to the polls this year.

Fascist, authoritarian and strong-man candidates are candidates in many of those elections – threatening no less than the future of democracy.

We take democracy for granted, but democracies can actually be very fragile.

On today's afternoon episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt and Bension Siebert unpack the world’s biggest election year, and what it might mean for the future of democracy.
