UK & France to Vote in Major Elections in July 🗳️

What We’re Showing

This graphic lists the major elections that occurred in 2024, the key winners, and the three big upcoming elections slated for the second half of this year.

Key Takeaways

• Incumbents held on to power in four of the six big elections that took place in the first half of 2024.
• However, the Russian and Bangladesh elections had little to no opposition candidates, casting a shadow on the electoral process.
• Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was elected Mexico's (and North America’s) first woman president.
• As of June 25th, Donald Trump in the U.S. and Keir Starmer in the UK are leading in the polls for their respective elections. However, the U.S. election appears to be even closer than the last one, and several polls have both candidates at par.
• Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron called a snap National Assembly election on June 9th after his coalition lost ground to the opposition National Rally in the European Parliamentary election.
