Elections and Online Political Ads Monitoring in Ukraine -- Case Study: Civil Network OPORA
As voters around the world continue to get more information through digital platforms, political campaigns are moving increasingly online. Many social media platforms allow campaigns and advertisers to micro-target audiences at scale and with unprecedented specificity. That ability to target audiences can make or break a campaign. However online political ads are less transparent and more difficult to monitor than traditional media advertising.
Promoting Resilience for Social Media Monitors in Malaysia
Social media monitoring projects are increasingly important to analyze the information environment surrounding an election. To gain a deeper understanding of how online narratives impact the credibility of an election requires a large team to analyze a large amount of data.
Monitoring Online Democratic Discourse in Georgia. Case Study: International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED)
Over the past 15 to 20 years, Georgia has faced widespread disinformation and propaganda campaigns, many of which began long before the issue came to the fore globally. The impact of these disinformation campaigns multiplied as Georgia’s rates of internet penetration doubled between 2013 and 2020. And the impacts increased, even more, when campaigns moved more online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study on Women's Political Participation
Study on women’s political participation: Women’s political participation is critical to ensuring that a democracy is representative and inclusive, yet the full participation of women in Guatemalan politics remains a challenge. To better understand women’s participation and the barriers they face to enter politics, NDI supported the development of a study on women in elected and nominated political positions in 2016.
Putting Elections to Work for Accountability
Elections are a principal democratic process, although they alone do not guarantee citizen influence over policy making, the responsiveness of public officials, or their responsible use of state resources. Quality elections matter a great deal, but only insofar as they put citizens in the driver’s seat when it comes to steering the work of government.
