2024 Indonesian election ballot paper.

Program: State of democracy in Asia

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Democracy is not necessarily the winner of the recent elections in Asia. More than a billion people across the region have voted. But that doesn't ensure democratic ideals and processes are uphold.

We look at Indonesia, India and Taiwan to put the election results into context and learn how they impact democracy not just in their own countries, but across the region and the globe.

Presented by La Trobe Asia.
