If we have persuaded you by now that elections and voting are worth a pause for thought, then we would like to invite you to look into some of their challenges. We are not going to provide recipes and we have no intention of telling you for whom to vote. We would just like to use examples to illustrate some questions which often occur in conjunction with voting in elections.
This site offers a few scenarios to explore the arguments and dilemmas related to voting. There are other challenges related to voting: our emotions, our ability to perceive and discern, or the amount and quality of information we have access to. While important, these latter challenges are not part of the exploration we propose here.
The scenarios are purely fictive. They do not relate to any particular countries or political entities. They are simply intended to raise questions and to invite reflection.
If you find the materials on this site interesting, we would like to hear from you. If you find them lacking, we would like to hear from you too. They have been developed to test the relevance of the topics, as well as the ways to present them. Therefore your comments are essential. You can write to us either using the Contact form or simply by emailing to feedback@elexplore.eu.
If you would like to use the materials in activities in a language other than English, please let us know. We may be able to arrange subtitling.
