Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya
Belarusian opposition candidate in the 2020 presidential election, who stood after her husband was detained and barred from registering. The official result declared her the loser by a wide margin; she rejected it, and the election was held without an OSCE/ODIHR observation mission able to assess the count. She left the country under pressure shortly after the vote.
This is not a biography collection. Entries cover a person's record on elections and voting rights only, and every entry carries a citation to a court ruling, an official finding, or an election-observation report. Nothing appears here without a source, and inclusion is not a judgement about a person.
