It provides an initial assessment of the many risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the conduct of genuine and transparent elections in the world. It begins with explaining why elections are a vital part of democracy, and then using the notion of the electoral cycle, constructs a risk matrix that assesses the relative impact and likelihood of risks to the cycle, as well as proposes a number of potential mitigations
to these risks. The variety and number of elections, dimensions of the electoral cycle that can be disrupted, and the need for solutions
raises significant questions about the future of democracy itself. |
