Democracy enables people to have a say in their futures. Everyone should be able to meaningfully participate in decisions that will affect their lives now and in years to come. Freedom, human rights, and free and fair elections are the essential elements of democracy. "Let us reaffirm democracy as a force for dignity, inclusion and peace — and work together to ensure it delivers for all,” said #UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres on Monday’s #DemocracyDay.
