2024 has been called a record breaking year for elections, with billions of people eligible to take part. But how can we make sure people can vote safely and securely?

2024 has been called a record breaking year for elections, with billions of people eligible to take part in all types of votes. But how can we make sure people can vote safely and securely?

We visit Australia's Northern Territory to see how voting takes place in incredibly remote communities. We also find out how a group of eminent women in Uganda is combating violence and intimidation during elections. And we hear how Estonia operates one of the most high-tech elections in the world.

People Fixing The World from the 成人快手 is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions.
