essay about how to conduct the election during covid 19
Answers
Answer:
As for the topic of the conference, it couldn’t be more relevant for anyone working on democracy related issues. For us at International IDEA, this probably is THE topic of the year.
Electoral processes have been part of our DNA since our foundation 25 years ago, but seldom has what we do proven so relevant as in these challenging times, where the entire world had to adapt to the new reality of Covid19 – including all the millions of people planning, executing, safeguarding and participating in elections.
Discussions and decisions around elections and Covid19 are not easy. They are indeed proving fraught in many countries. The good news is that nine months into this pandemic, the decisions made by countries around the world as to whether to hold or postpone elections have left in their wake considerable evidence and experience. We are now in a much better position to distill trends, identify lessons, spot remaining challenges and develop policy recommendations.

Have elections sparked coronavirus outbreaks?
It’s hard to say, given the number of factors involved. A few countries did see increased numbers of COVID-19 cases in the weeks after their elections, though other actions, such as broader reopenings and easing of restrictions, could have been responsible, experts say. Belarus experienced widespread protests following its election, which could have contributed to an increase in cases. And Serbia, which also saw post-election protests, was accused of underreporting COVID-19 cases ahead of its elections.
On the other hand, South Korea, which international health experts have praised for its extensive precautions at polling places, reported no new cases related to its April election. The election was held amid a declining caseload and with nationwide coronavirus restrictions still in place. Similarly, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report found that there was no spike in cases in Milwaukee following Wisconsin’s primary election in April.
