English Edition: Why Election Observation Matters. With Therese Pearce Laanela

Increasingly, elections that are fair, just and accessible to all
cannot be taken for granted anymore. Hence, the role of election
observers is becoming more and more important: Whenever an
election is held, they are on site to report any irregularities
or even fraud. In our podcast, we talk with Therese Pearce
Laanela from International IDEA, an intergovernmental
organisation supporting and promoting democratic processes
worldwide, about how their mission has changed in recent years
due to digitalisation and the pandemic, and what democratisation
aid means in foreign policy.
