Democracy is more than voting. This chapter connects free elections with the freedoms that let people debate, organise and question those in power. It also explores participation and the obstacles that can keep people outside public life.
When reading a situation, ask two things: can people influence the decision, and are their rights protected? This helps you distinguish majority rule from a system in which the majority can silence everyone else.

Read or listen at UHR ↗The people. The people's authority is the foundation of public power. Public authorities and political bodies must exercise power under the law.
Voters have different political directions to choose from.. Voters need real alternatives to influence policy. Being allowed to submit a ballot alone does not make an election democratic.
Voters decide for themselves how to vote.. A voter must be able to choose without coercion. No one else may decide which party the voter supports.
The right to keep one’s own party choice private. No voter has to reveal how they voted. This protection reduces the risk of pressure on individuals.
Freedom to express thoughts and opinions. Freedom of expression protects the ability to express thoughts and opinions. It does not make every statement lawful or require others to agree.
Misleading information spread deliberately. Disinformation is spread to mislead. It may contain invented claims or genuine information taken out of context. It can create conflict and weaken trust in society.

03 / 03 · Swedish question
An election post lacks a source. Which check best tests its accuracy before you share it?
A. Sök ursprungsuppgiften och jämför med oberoende källor.
Source criticism means examining who is making a claim and what evidence supports it. Comparing sources reduces the risk of spreading misleading information.
The people — The people's authority is the foundation of public power. Public authorities and political bodies must exercise power under the law.
Rule by the people — Democracy means that power comes from the people. People must be able to influence shared decisions and replace those in power. The word comes from Greek.
