Book Presentation: Así se vota en Nicaragua

Así se vota en Nicaragua examines the mechanisms of electoral manipulation in authoritarian contexts across Latin America.
About this Event

For more than two decades, Nicaragua has been undergoing a process of institutional erosion that has stripped its elections of any meaningful substance. Daniel Ortega’s regime has dismantled the basic guarantees of a fair electoral process: disqualifying opposition parties and candidates, exercising absolute control over the Supreme Electoral Council, repressing the independent press, and persecuting activists and human rights defenders.

Así se vota en Nicaragua is a publication by Transparencia Electoral, written by Nicaraguan political scientist José Antonio Peraza. The study provides an in-depth examination of the dynamics of the Nicaraguan electoral process, challenges the regime’s official narrative, and offers a critical analysis of the institutional, regulatory, and practical mechanisms used to manipulate the will of the people and maintain power without real competition.
