The year 2024 has been characterised as the ‘year of elections’. There are a number of important elections in the world's biggest democracies, as well as a few important ones closer to home. In this event, prominent political scientists discuss the various issues facing democracies in the relevant elections that took place (the European Union, France and United Kingdom) or will soon be taking place, for instance in British Columbia, and the Presidential elections in the United States.

This panel discussion will feature members of the Department of Political Science at the University of Victoria. Join fellow UVic alumni and friends for light refreshments, networking and thought-provoking dialogue.
