European elections have become contested ground. Election interference, disinformation, and authoritarian pressure now shape the vote. Foreign interference targets ballots from the Baltics to the Balkans, and every result carries weight for transatlantic security. This hub tracks the campaigns, candidates, and outcomes that matter most across the continent. The Hungary elections test whether a long-ruling incumbent can be beaten, and the Hungarian elections remain a bellwether for illiberal rule. The Poland election reshaped the country’s path, and later Polish elections shape its courts and ties to Brussels. The Moldova elections pit a pro-European path against Russian pressure, and the Moldovan elections show how the Kremlin tries to sway voters. Fellows and analysts examine election interference and what each result means for NATO and the European Union. Explore commentary, data, and analysis on the European elections shaping the region.
