Two months after pro-Trump rioters’ cries of “stop the steal” have faded from the US Capitol, many Americans are still reeling from the assault on their most hallowed halls of democracy. While the events of 6 January were shocking, the fact that they had bubbled up from under the surface of an otherwise comparatively peaceful democracy made them especially remarkable. But around the world, many countries’ election periods are regularly marred by violence – more so in young or fragile democracies such as the Central African Republic, and around elections that voters view as corrupt or unfair, like in Kyrgyzstan, to name just two from 2020. In Myanmar, the military’s claims of fraud in the country’s elections last November were used as justification to mount a coup against the government, with the crackdown subsequently descending into widespread violence.
