The Philippines' Commission on Elections Chairman George Garcia provided a preview and demonstration of the vote counting machines and other processes that will be used in the 2025 elections at the Rappler newsroom on June 6, 2024. Experts from five countries - Canada, Germany, Chile, Belarus, and the Philippines - discuss the key issues at stake as their nations head to the polls.
Voters worldwide will participate in several crucial elections throughout the year, with recurring themes like inflation's impact, the rise of populism, and the consequences of war in Europe and the Middle East. Predicting election outcomes is unreliable, so The Conversation sought insights from experts in five nations - Canada, Germany, Chile, Belarus, and the Philippines - on what is at stake in their respective elections. In Belarus, the upcoming elections lack a genuine opposition, with Lukashenko, who has ruled since 1994, facing no serious challenge. Four other candidates seeking nomination include Aleh Haidukevich, Hanna Kanapatskaya, Aliaksandr Khizhnyak, and Siarhei Syrankou. However, all face significant limitations. Belarusian citizens living abroad will be unable to vote due to the authorities' decision to discontinue polling stations at diplomatic missions following the mass protests in the 2020 election
