READING:

The year 2024 will be the biggest for elections. Around two billion people in 64 countries and the European Union will vote this year. That is half the global population. The elections will bring big changes for many people. Voters in the world's four largest electoral blocs – the EU, India, Indonesia and the USA – will vote. For much of the year, eyes will be on the US. There will be a repeat of the 2020 election if Donald Trump runs again.

Journalists worry if elections will be free and fair. Bloomberg.com asked a question that is on many people's lips: "Will 2024 be the year fake news destroys democracy?" Artificial intelligence will be used to change the way people vote. Bloomberg said there will be "a storm of disinformation…unlike anything the world has ever seen". Fact checkers will have to work extra hard to reduce the number of fake news stories on social media.
