On 2 October 2022, more than 150 million Brazilians will be called to participate in their country’s general elections. Incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro has time and again publicly questioned the integrity of the upcoming elections, challenging the electronic voting system and attacking the organisations in charge of overseeing the electoral process.
Brazil is not an isolated case. Worldwide, even in established democracies such as the United States, there are increasing worries that election-meddling, vote-rigging, and attacks on core electoral institutions are threatening democracy.
At this GIGA Forum, experts explore flawed, corrupt, or failed elections from a global perspective. They address the question of whether there is a heightened need to protect electoral integrity in the 2020s – and what we can do to improve the execution of elections worldwide.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
