The State of World Democracy: A Retrospective on Elections Around the World

Hosted by Freedom House

Freedom House joins the Denver Democracy Series & Summit for a discussion with international democracy experts and civil society leaders on global democratic trends, the impact of technology and media, and grassroots efforts in supporting democratic practices. In 2024, voters in countries like India, France, Great Britain, Venezuela, Mexico, South Africa, and Iran headed to the polls for critical elections. What do these results reveal about global democracy? How are new technologies and media transforming democracy? What might the trends tell us about the upcoming US election?

Join us for an insightful discussion with international democracy experts and civil society leaders on global democratic trends, the impact of technology and media, and grassroots efforts in supporting democratic practices.
