#17 | Guide to the Honduran Elections

This week’s Central American Drop delves into Honduras at a decisive crossroads, where voters head to the polls amid mounting uncertainty, intensifying repression, and deep public distrust.

Our package traces the stakes of this electoral moment—from escalating attacks on journalists and the corrosive influence of dark money, to the state of emergency reshaping daily life and the voices challenging the country’s entrenched political order. As the nation confronts both political turmoil and urgent humanitarian crises, these stories offer a clear-eyed guide to the forces shaping Honduras’s democracy and the popular will it must now defend.
