In every country, elections are among the most important events, as they shape governments, influence policies, and affect millions of people. Every minute of an election generates a large amount of information. News channels, online platforms, and social media continuously publish real-time news.

Updates on candidates, campaigns, public reactions, and results are the most popular news stories consumed by practically every citizen in the country.
