# #VoteHung, that's what i do. How?

1. Vote,

2. **don't** vote anyone into power,

3. make your vote count.

The #US is not the only election happening in 2024.

We need to get beyond the idea of a leader as saviour. They don't care about your family, your blood.

And it's an old trick parents play on their kids: "pizza or pasta?", who limited the choices? Who put these politicians in our face to choose from?

We don't live in a democracy but a republic. So all the bs about defending democracy is just that -- bs.

In **2024**, a significant number of countries are scheduled to hold national elections. Here are some key points:

1. **Global Significance**: This year is not just an election year; it's perhaps the election year. Globally, more voters than ever in history will head to the polls as at least **64 countries** (plus the European Union) are meant to hold national elections. These elections represent a combined population of about **49%** of the world's people.

2. **Consequential Outcomes**: The results of these elections will have significant implications for years to come. For instance:

- In **Taiwan**, the next president's identity will shape Beijing's approach to the self-governed island.

- In **Bangladesh**, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is set to win a fourth consecutive term, despite opposition protests.

- In **Pakistan**, former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party faces challenges ahead of the election.

- **Vladimir Putin** in Russia is likely to win re-election, but the true vote breakdown may reveal insights into his support.

- In **Ukraine**, incumbent leader Volodomyr Zelensky intends to seek another term.

3. **U.K. General Election**: In the **United Kingdom**, opinion polls suggest that the opposition Labour Party will likely come out on top in the next general election, which embattled Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has promised to call at some point in 2024.

4. **U.S. Presidential Race**: The U.S. presidential race in November has the potential to be the biggest global event of 2024, with former President **Donald Trump** potentially securing a second term.

Below is a list of all the elections scheduled or expected to take place in 2024, ordered by population according to projections by the United Nations¹. You can find more details about specific elections in different countries in the provided link.
