Quality of Elections Has Suffered Globally for 8 Consecutive Years, Report Finds
Briefly

The report by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance highlights a worrying trend where nearly 20% of global election losers rejected the outcomes between 2020 and 2024.
Kevin Casas-Zamora emphasized that the report is a 'call for action to protect democratic elections,' noting that the failure of elections undermines the success of democracy overall.
The analysis shows an alarming decline in the quality of elections and parliamentary oversight globally, marking the worst year observed since IDEA started tracking these issues in 1975.
The 2020 election in the U.S., notably represented by Donald Trump’s denial of the results, is called one of the most extreme instances of election denial in recent years.
