However, many other countries are<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_electoral_calendar_2016" title=""> holding national elections this year</a>, with consequences for hundreds of millions of people—and U.S. foreign relations—that make them worth following, too. Daily Kos Elections is therefore pleased to present our guide to national elections around the world this year.</p> <p>Our focus is on executive and legislative races in countries whose elections are, by and large, free and fair, such as Taiwan or Ireland. However, we've also included some states whose electoral practices don't conform to traditional democratic norms but where, nevertheless, election outcomes are uncertain and can have an impact on how power is distributed and exercised. Iran is one such example. We don't discuss nations with entirely un-free sham elections, like Russia. (We've also left out a few microstates.)</p> <p>A couple of notable countries have already held elections this year, but many more are on tap. Join us as we take a month-by-month look at what's on the 2016 ballot around the world (and be sure to check out our general explanatory notes at the end).
