Show Notes
A bonus episode from the People Fixing the World podcast.
2024 has been called a record breaking year for elections, with billions of people eligible to take part in all types of votes. But how can we make sure people can vote safely and securely?
We visit Australia's Northern Territory to see how voting takes place in incredibly remote communities. We also find out how a group of eminent women in Uganda is combating violence and intimidation during elections. And we hear how Estonia operates one of the most high-tech elections in the world.
People Fixing the World looks at common challenges around the world and the creative ways people are trying to tackle them.
