The Global State of Democracy 2024 Global Launch Event

Amid an unprecedented super-cycle election year and a global trend of dissatisfaction with elections, the sixth edition of the Global State of Democracy Report explores the factors exacerbating this deterioration and what drives people’s perceptions of electoral integrity.

The report is based on a methodology that combines data analysis with on-the-ground experience to evaluate the state of democracy in 173 countries. The Global State of Democracy 2024 Report: ‘Strengthening the Legitimacy of Elections in a Time of Radical Uncertainty’ provides an overview of global trends and is supplemented by a policy paper that explores how to strengthen public perceptions of electoral integrity. This paper includes a new data set on disputed elections and concludes with recommendations aimed at protecting public faith in the legitimacy of electoral processes.
