Abstract
The 2024 elections present a unique sociopolitical landscape marked by a resurgence of radicalization across various spectra. Radicalization profoundly impacts electoral dynamics, shaping voter behavior, political discourse, and policy agendas. Extremist groups and individuals seek to influence elections through disinformation campaigns, targeted propaganda, and online manipulation, sowing seeds of division and undermining democratic norms.
