According to the underlying expert assessments by country experts, elections are becoming less meaningful, free, or fair in these countries. This rate of democratic erosion is unprecedented. This is partly because the data seeks to capture gradual declines in democratic institutions, while historically, democracies often broke down rapidly in coups d’état or foreign invasions. So, while political rights are under threat in a substantial share of democracies, there is still time to act to halt this decline, restore democratic rights, and even deepen democratic institutions. If you want to learn more, you can read [my article on recent changes in democracy](https://ourworldindata.org/less-democratic), for which we just updated the data. | One in five democracies is eroding |
