With nearly 2 billion voters expected to head to the polls, 2024 has been dubbed a ‘super election year’. In fact, over the next 12 months, more than 70 countries will head to a presidential, legislative, or subnational election.

Similarly, in South Asia, five out of its eight countries have held/are also planning to hold elections in 2024.
