#Romania's #Election2025 re-run lineup looks a bit different; the winner of #Election2024's annulled first round has been barred. Instead, the big story is once again about the nationalist George Simion against a wide field. But 2024 was dramatic, and 2025 may be no different. #TheWorldVotes

#Singapore's also got an #Election2025, the first for PM Wong who took over after 31 years of his predecessor – big boots to fill, although since its foundation in 1959, Singapore has never seen the opposition take over (the current lot hope for 30% of seats, eventually).
#TheWorldVotes

Starting soon, #Australia's federal parliamentary #Election2025 sees conservative Dutton (now playing down the Trump comparisons) trying to unseat Labor PM Albanese amid a housing/inflation crisis - Dutton's poll lead has flipped to a narrow trail, so it's getting tight!
#TheWorldVotes #Democracy

A bit of local interest for #Election2025 today, with some #UKLocalElections that are more interesting as a test of the new positions of #ReformUK and the #Tories, than in terms of the actual council seats. #TheWorldVotes

It's the real conclusion of #Election2024 today, as #Croatia finish off the cliffhanger presidential vote they left us with last month. Incumbent Milanovic fell 0.9% short of winning Round 1, so is out for vengeance (and, say, 50.1% of the vote) this time. #TheWorldVotes

And that's it! #Election2024 wrapped up, in time for #NYE2024. I hope you've enjoyed the journey, and don't forget, the full year will be collected into the book, out in 2025. There's more detail on FB/Insta. Watch this space... #TheWorldVotes 7/7

#December round-up: #Election2024 finally wrapped up this month with #Romania (drama!), #Ghana and #Chad, but #Croatia leaves us all on a cliffhanger as their second round waits for January. Here's what happened... #TheWorldVotes 1/7

If you've enjoyed #Election2024 this year, please keep an eye out for the book in the new year! #2025 #TheWorldVotes #Democracy

The last #Election2024 (!) might run into #2025, if #Croatia's presidential ballot needs a 2nd round. Popular incumbent Milanović is running again, after taking a drubbing in April's parliamentary election when he hoped to become PM. His rightwing opponent is polling ~10pt down. #TheWorldVotes

#Chad's much-postponed parliamentary #Election2024 finally gets underway today, in a country struggling to emerge from decades of military rule. Expect good results for the winner of May's presidential election, who follows his father's example in keeping hold of power. #Election2024 #TheWorldVotes

#MerryChristmas! John Mahama and his NDC party staged a remarkable come-back to return to power in #Ghana's #Election2024, thrashing the incumbent VP, who conceded ahead of the official announcement. #IncumbencyCurse, or just better campaigning? Next...the book! #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

#Romania's #Election2024 was full of twists. The parliamentary poll is settled, but after the far-right's shock win in the 1st round, the presidential vote was annulled by the constitutional court, who have ordered a re-run. Remarkable, in a NATO & EU member. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

Sinn Fein showed promise in #Ireland's #Election2024, but finished 2nd, so the outcome once again hangs on coalition talks, likely between centre-right parties Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, and whoever can get them three more seats. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

#Election2024's attention-hog, #USElection, saw former president Trump re-gain the top job with a commanding Electoral College lead. Wins elsewhere gave him effective control of #Congress, giving his agenda a theoretically smooth path and resolving his legal woes. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

Inevitably overshadowed by #USElection, #Palau's #Election2024 was a grudge match between brothers-in-law, in which the incumbent beat the former 4-time president in a comfortable win likely to see the #Pacific islands nation lean closer to the US than to China. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

#Botswana's #Election2024 delivered another big surprise as #IncumbencyCurse ended the BDP's 58-year rule and saw them trounced by the opposition UDC. Peaceful transition talks began for the first time in this diamond-producing country's existence. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

#SuperSunday #Oct27th was #Election2024's biggest day, with 5 nations voting: we had new parliaments for #Japan, #Uzbekistan and #Bulgaria, while #Uruguay voted on a parliament & president, and #Lithuania finished up their parliamentary run-offs. Ballots galore! #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

#Georgia's October #Election2024 was subject to dispute before and after voting. The ruling party has been sliding closer to Russian influence, and their suspension of #EU accession talks prompted protests, even from the president. The #EU called for a re-run. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

A former Marxist insurgent swept away opponents in #SriLanka's #Election2024, but immediately faced a hostile parliament resisting his radical, anti-corruption agenda – so he called a snap election to shake it up. Big changes here, as dynasties struggle to adapt. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

Far from boosting his legitimacy with a high-turnout election, #Algeria's president Tebboune found himself crushingly re-elected (at 95%!) with turnout barely scraping 25%. A disillusioned electorate remains unimpressed, and restless.#Election2024 #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

Tiny #Commonwealth and #Pacific island #Kiribati was the only #Election2024 event in August. 44 MPs were elected, from whom presidential candidates were chosen, to lead an island caught in a tug-of-war between China and Australia. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

Providing some home interest for #Election2024 was the #UK #GE2024 which saw the opposition Labour party sweep into a wide but shallow majority, ending 14 years of Tory rule. The resulting parliamentary opposition is more fragmentary and diverse than usual. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

We're still seeing aftershocks from #France's snap #Election2024, held June-July, which might have been meant to stifle the growth of the far-right RN ahead of 2027, but has instead left parliament caught between 3 roughly equal opposing blocs, with no winner. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

#Iran had a snap presidential #Election2024, after their earlier legislative one – unhappy voters again protested with their absence, but the most 'moderate' candidate still won the 2nd job. Pezeshkian was launched straight into the ongoing regional turmoil. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes

Not a single national vote, but the #EU's #Election2024 will be consequential. In voting across 27 states, Green gains from 2019 were replaced by the far right, as voters kicked back against net zero targets, and the centre-right just about held their majority. #Election2024Advent #TheWorldVotes
