Figures and Voices: Prospects for Change in Guatemalan Society: To help safeguard the integrity of Guatemala’s 2015 elections, NDI and nine-member local observation coalition, Electoral Watch (Mirador Electoral), conducted a comprehensive program to monitor the pre-election environment as well as the electoral process and polls on election day. Each member organization specialized in different topics: media monitoring, transparency, quick counts, political and electoral processes, electoral and democratic integrity, electoral conflict and violence, and the political participation of women, indigenous peoples, and youth. To better understand the elections and political developments during the process, NDI published Figures and Voices: Prospects for Change in Guatemalan Society, a collection of essays compiled and edited by NDI written by 36 authors from diverse political and social sectors, including think tanks, civic organizations, political parties, and independent analysts. The authors analyzed different aspects of citizens’ responses to a survey NDI conducted on transformations of Guatemalan political culture, their implications for the state of democracy and political participation in the country, how the country’s collective political consciousness changed in 2015, and how the country’s political system may change going forward.
