2024: The Year of Choice, Janasi Damania, TGS, YoungReporter
2024 is the year of change. Aptly named ‘election year’, millions of people, in over 60 countries, will be voting this year in elections that will impact the lives of almost half the entire world population. The significance of the vote cannot be stressed enough, giving the public, even those far from power, a chance to be heard in the tumultuous sea of politics.
