This Week In Elections

In Episode 5 of This Week in Elections, we recap Antigua and Barbuda’s snap election landslide, where Gaston Browne’s Labour Party turned a narrow majority into a dominant win. We also look at the final UK council by-election before election week, Manhattan’s City Council special election, and the latest U.S. House vacancies in Georgia and Florida.Then we preview a packed week ahead: the Texas Senate District 4 special election, the UK local elections, the Scottish Parliament election, the Welsh Senedd election, Australia’s Farrer by-election, and the Indiana and Ohio primaries

In Episode 4 of This Week In Elections, we break down the Virginia redistricting referendum and what its passage could mean for the battle for the U.S. House. We also look at the latest UK local by-elections, including the growing Greens vs Reform dynamic, plus election updates from Antigua, Texas SD-04, Peru, and Denmark.

We cover Hungary’s political earthquake as Péter Magyar and Tisza end Viktor Orbán’s long rule, the still-chaotic and delayed Peruvian presidential election, and the Canadian federal by-elections that gave Mark Carney’s Liberals a majority government. We also look at Bulgaria’s landslide election result, the NJ-11 special election, two recent UK council by-elections, and briefly check in on Quebec’s new premier.

In Episode 2 of This Week in Elections, I break down one of the most closely watched special primaries in the country in New Jersey’s 11th District, where progressive energy, establishment support, and outside money are all colliding. Then I head abroad to Hungary, where Viktor Orbán is facing one of the biggest threats to his rule in years, and to Peru, where voters are heading into another hugely important election after nearly a decade of chaos, instability, and nonstop political crisis. I also take a look at Canada’s upcoming by-elections, where party switches, polling movement, and tactical voting are starting to shape the story, and recap a few local council by-elections in the UK as well.

Welcome to Episode 1 of This Week In Elections. This week I’m covering Georgia’s 14th special election, Italy’s referendum, and the elections in Denmark and the Faroe Islands, breaking down the results and some of the bigger political takeaways from each one. The goal of the show is to keep up with important elections, including the smaller or more overlooked ones that can still tell you a lot.
