Event description: 

In 2024 there will be a very high number of elections worldwide. Many of these elections will be a stress-test for democracy, particularly in countries where authoritarian and populist politicians are trying to gain/consolidate power. This timely roundtable will spur a robust conversation about the state of representative democracy and its future. Speakers are leaders in their field, who have advanced our understanding of the challenges facing democracies and have proposed innovative solutions to enhance democratic societies across multiple contexts.
