Guatemala 2023 Election Watch alerts
January 14, 2024 marks only the third time in the country’s history that an actually democratic government has taken power. It marks the beginning of the country’s second Democratic Spring. The new Democratic Spring in Guatemala is because of, and for the Guatemalan people, a majority being Mayan Indigenous peoples. From July 2023 - January 2024, Rights Action published election watch alerts, documenting this historic electoral process and battle.
