More than 70 countries are holding elections this year, representing half the world’s population. What do the results reveal about the state of democracy in 2024? 

Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, explores the consequences of the year’s major elections—from America to India, France, Venezuela, and beyond—with senior correspondents from The Economist including Washington bureau chief Idrees Kahloon, Paris bureau chief Sophie Pedder, and geopolitics editor David Rennie.
