In a democratic society every now and then you will be faced with elections, from presidential elections to local elections of various kinds.

Some democracies are so-called representative democracies which means you elect politicians who, supposedly, take care of your best interests. Sometimes, however, you have elections relating to very specific questions or situations.

What are the democratic processes surrounding an election and how do they work? What are the differences between national and local elections? What is the role of economy and the media?

Keynote speakers on elections try to provide answers for interesting questions such as these and more.
