Description:
Each individual has the right to participate in the conduct of public affairs, including through free and fair elections by universal and equal suffrage. Moreover, elections are an essential means through which we can support representatives who are committed to defending and promoting laws and policies that are respectful of human rights. This series from the Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University addresses both research and advocacy as it explores various ways in which elections can be a powerful tool for change and tactics for addressing efforts to restrict and manipulate electoral processes.
