About the Election Emergency and Crisis Monitor
The electoral challenges posed by extreme weather - exacerbated by climate change - such as floods, hurricanes, heatwaves, and wildfires, as well as other disasters like earthquakes and volcanic activity, are highlighted in the EECM. Each country brief provides a concise overview of the disaster's impact on the country and its electoral process, detailing the event, its societal effects, connections to climate change, procedural and legal adaptations, and measures taken to safeguard electoral integrity, including voter turnout data where available. The EECM contains over 70 country briefs spanning from 2001 to 2024. For more information visit our project page.
