Three findings from three countries
Why is it important to monitor social media prior to elections?
In cooperation with our partners, we conducted monitoring of social media platforms to determine their impact on last year’s elections in Belarus, Moldova, and Kyrgyzstan. We asked three experts, who are also co-authors of the respective analyses, to introduce the three most interesting findings from each country.
