2019 Election Calendar Across The World

 

In 2019, more people will vote than ever before.


Nearly two billion voters in 50 countries around the world will head to the polls this year to elect their leaders.
Some of the biggest elections include India - the world’s largest democracy with 800 million eligible voters, Indonesia - 187 million registered voters and Nigeria - 84 million registered voters.

 

Who's voting this year?


There are three main types of elections.
Presidential electionVoters elect the country’s head of state or president. The president holds the highest political position and officially represents the country.
Parliamentary electionThe legislative body is elected by the people and, in turn, chooses the head of the government or prime minister. The legislative body implements laws and runs the government on a day-to-day basis.
In countries without a prime minister, such as South Africa, Brazil, and the United States, the president is both the head of state and head of government.
General electionVoters elect the head of state as well as federal and local representatives.
