LUIS, Carla. Elections, electoral integrity and populism: an analysis of the critical points. []. , 67, pp.13-25.   31--2020. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2020.67a02.

In this article we highlight the importance of the electoral cycle and its components, including all electoral stakeholders. With elections ever more present in the populist rhetoric, we analyse how violations of electoral integrity can lead to problematic outcomes and a threat to democracy in itself. We suggest that greater attention should be given to all aspects of the electoral cycle, including all electoral stakeholders. The dissemination of information, both through civic and voter education is key, as a paramount source of trust and electoral integrity.
