Voice and Accountability: Estimate

This indicator assesses the degree to which citizens in a given nation can engage in the democratic process, emphasizing their ability to influence government selection and their rights to express opinions, associate freely, and access unbiased media. Scores reflect an aggregate measurement, expressed in a standard normal distribution, allowing for nuanced comparisons across different countries. Ranging from approximately -2.5 to 2.5, these values indicate not only the presence of democratic freedoms but also highlight disparities in civic engagement and governance quality. A higher score signifies robust democratic practices, while a lower score suggests significant barriers to civil liberties, leaving citizens with limited channels for participation and expression.
