Political developments can quickly affect local security conditions. In 2026, significant elections will take place in 15 countries across five continents, several of them in politically sensitive environments. To help organisations and travellers understand the potential implications, Safeture has published “Election Informer 2026” in collaboration with its intelligence partner Riskline.
The report combines political context, risk assessments, and potential travel impacts for key elections throughout the year. Its goal is to provide organizations with clear, concise insights to support safer travel planning and better risk preparedness.
Key elections with potential travel implications
The Election Informer reports on elections in 15 countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Several of these events are expected to draw global attention, including the U.S. midterm elections, the Brazilian presidential election, Hungary’s parliamentary election, and elections in Libya and South Sudan.
While elections are essential to democratic processes, they can also bring periods of increased uncertainty. Demonstrations, political tensions, transportation disruptions, or temporary security measures may happen before, during, or after election day.
Riskline’s regional analysts assess potential developments and outline possible risks such as:
- Political demonstrations and unrest
- Localized security incidents or political violence
- Temporary travel disruptions and border restrictions
- Increased security presence and operational limitations in cities
By understanding these dynamics in advance, organizations can better prepare employees to travel to or work in affected regions.
Supporting safer travel decisions
For companies with globally mobile staff, staying aware of political developments is a key part of travel risk management. Elections can quickly impact the security situation, often with little warning.
“International travel today requires a clear and realistic understanding of the environment,” says Marcel Brandt, Chief Sales Officer at Safeture. “Political developments can escalate quickly and affect the security situation on the ground. With the Election Informer, we provide structured insights that help organizations stay informed and make better travel decisions.”
Intelligence powered by Riskline
The report is based on analysis from Riskline, a global provider of travel risk intelligence. Their analysts continuously monitor global information sources and combine this data with regional expertise to assess emerging developments.
Through the Safeture platform, organizations can access Riskline’s real-time intelligence to support travel risk management and duty-of-care programs. The Election Informer compiles selected insights into a thematic report highlighting key developments expected in 2026.
