SIS Global Election Tracker

Between 2023 and 2025, more than half of the world鈥檚 population will have gone to the polls,听ushering in a new era of global political change.These elections are critical to understanding the global dynamics of democratic progress听versus听backsliding, predicting implications for global security and regional economic growth, and tracking impacts on human rights and representation. And beyond the "local is global"听impacts, "local"听is also personal to our SIS community: SIS has students, alumni, staff, and faculty from around the world. We recognize and seek to understand the meaning of national elections to each country鈥檚 residents and communities.

At SIS, our scholars also possess a deep well of expertise on the politics and the contexts of countries around the world. Enter our听Global Elections Initiative. We're embarking on a project to promote discussions;听stage events;听create web content;听and generally, keep our focus on key national elections around the world and dive deeper into the trends, opportunities, and challenges they reflect.听We鈥檝e established the SIS Global Elections Tracker as a听resource for keeping apprised of politics at the national level鈥攖o promote active engagement and analysis.
