Resumo(s)
On 18 April 2021 Cabo Verde held its seventh parliamentary elections since
democratic transition in the early 1990s. Parliamentary elections take place
every five years and not only meet high quality standards but promote peaceful
alternation of power between major parties that generally accept the rules
of the game (Sanches 2020a; Sanches et al. 2021). However, this time, as
elsewhere, the country faced an unprecedented dilemma due to the Covid-19
pandemic: to either postpone or go ahead with the elections, while balancing
democratic and human security imperatives. Unlike most countries, Cabo
Verde decided to move forward as scheduled. The holding of local elections
in October 2020 constituted a crucial pre-test, helping to inform the mitigation
measures needed to reduce the spread of Covid-19 and guarantee a safe
voting environment.
