The World Goes to the Polls: The Economist on Elections in 2024
- This event has passed.
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? Can far-right parties be countered, as in France? And as America prepares to vote, what could the outcome mean for the world?
Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, will explore 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, followed by audience Q&A.
