2014 Elections Around the World

Of 50 democratic nations voting, 25 will be voting for a president, including the European Union. For Fiji, this year marks the country's first democratic elections since its president approved the new constitution last year.

And already, Bangladesh's election season provoked protests against the government, which led up to polling day on January 5.
