Half the world will go to the polls in 2024, when citizens of around 30 countries will choose their leader, including some of the most influential global states.
The upcoming elections that are talked about the most are certainly those in the United States of America, in which Democratic President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump will engage in a political rematch.
The Biden-Trump showdown
Tens of millions of Americans will elect the 60th president of the United States on November 5 in a race that could keep incumbent Joe Biden in power until he is 86.
Still, poll after poll shows most voters think the gaffe-prone Democrat is too old to be commander-in-chief, despite his rival, former President Donald Trump, making similar mistakes at 77. year. Trump enters the race despite multiple criminal convictions.
Opponents of Putin in custody
Vladimir Putin has been the leader of Russia for the past 23 years. In 2020, he changed the constitution to allow him to remain in power until 2036, potentially allowing him to rule longer than Joseph Stalin.
With the war in Ukraine being used to jail or silence dissidents and opponents, there is little chance that anyone will stand in his way to secure another six years in power in March elections.
His longtime nemesis, Alexei Navalny, is serving a 19-year sentence in a strict penal colony. Another potential challenger, Ukrainian war veteran Igor Girkin, announced his intention to run but was imprisoned indefinitely.
The Prime Minister of India enjoys unwavering support
Nearly a billion Indians will go to the polls between April and May, when the world's most populous nation goes to the polls in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his nationalist BJP party seek a third term.
Modi's political career and success have been built on supporting India's Hindus and, critics say, fueling hostility toward the country's large Muslim minority.
Despite the crackdown on civil liberties in his time, Modi goes into the polls as the clear favorite and supporters credit him with raising his country's standing on the global stage.
Mexico's first female president?
Former New Mexico Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum is running on behalf of the Moreno party to replace outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Her opponent Xochitl Galvez was elected to represent the opposition coalition, the Broad Front for Mexico. Early polls show Sheinbaum with a wide lead.
The EU's test for populists
In the world's largest transnational elections in June, more than 400 million eligible voters from 27 European Union countries will elect 720 members of the European Parliament.
The vote will be a test of support for right-wing populists, who have been buoyed by the victory of Geert Wilders' anti-Islam Freedom Party (PVV) in the last election in the Netherlands and the victory of Giorgia Meloni in Italy.
