Safeguarding Democracy in 2024
2024 is shaping up to be a huge year for us at TrustBallot, especially with democracy hanging in the balance. We're right in the thick of it, making sure that elections across the globe are fair and honest.
This year is a big deal with countries from the USA to Indonesia hitting the polls. Nearly half the world's population is getting a chance to vote, and we're here to ensure that these elections are on the up and up.
But here's the catch: even with all this voting action, there are some serious concerns about how strong democracy really is. You've got leaders like Putin in Russia and Khamenei in Iran who might be playing dirty to keep their power. And it's not just them – we're seeing some issues in Western countries too. We're keeping our eyes peeled to make sure no one's bending the rules.
In the U.S., the buzz about Donald Trump possibly getting re-elected has got a lot of people worried about the future of democracy. That's where we come in. We're monitoring everything closely to safeguard the democratic process.
Europe's got its own set of challenges with the rise of far-right groups. We're on the ground, making sure these elections don't trample over democratic values.
Our research, along with findings from the V-Dem Institute and Freedom House, isn't painting a pretty picture for global democracy. That's why we're fighting tooth and nail against this shift from fair governance to autocratic rule. We're out here speaking up, educating folks, and keeping a close watch on elections.
The 2024 U.S. election is a major focus for us. We're committed to ensuring it's transparent and fair, especially with all the chatter about Trump possibly winning and what that could mean for democracy.
Over in Europe, leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orbán are showing some autocratic tendencies, and we're pushing back hard to support democratic practices.
But our work isn't just about monitoring elections. We're also big on educating people about why democracy matters and the risks posed by autocratic leaders, especially given the rise of far-right parties in Europe.
As we navigate through 2024, our role at TrustBallot becomes more critical. We're standing firm in our commitment to fair elections and the principles of democracy. Despite the challenges ahead, our efforts are keeping the flame of democracy alive and well across the globe.
