Election Watch for the Digital Age is a data-driven project that helps technology companies, policymakers, and civil society forecast the risk of human rights violations and digital interference ahead of elections around the world. The project assesses a country's political context and the digital threats posed to the electoral process. Join us to hear from members of the Freedom House team about what goes into producing Election Watch data and assessments!
