#ProtectElections: A global advocacy campaign

At the start of the year, as countries that together account for half the world’s population prepared to go to the polls, the Institute resolved to redouble its focus on protecting democratic elections.
International IDEA delivered on this commitment by developing the capacity of electoral authorities to manage risk, by convening dialogues to exchange good electoral practices among the electoral management bodies and foreign ministries in the Institute’s Member States, and by generating and disseminating knowledge about trends through the 2024 Global State of Democracy report and other publications. The campaign reinforced the Institute’s voice as a champion of free and fair elections, while strengthening synergies across teams and regions. One hallmark of the campaign was a new website landing page highlighting developments in elections worldwide.
Updated regularly, this page quickly became a reference tool for governments, media and researchers globally. The campaign’s frequent media advisories generated some 6,000 mentions of International IDEA related to elections, including in The New York Times, The Economist and other leading publications
‘It is highly meaningful to work with global norms for elections and to give practical support to electoral integrity … so let us with full force advance the work of supporting elections.’
