In their own words

“Unhack Democracy is a Brussels-based election watchdog and pro-democracy NGO. Set up in 2018 to rebuild trust in elections in Hungary and beyond, today our diverse team of journalists, academics and entrepreneurs works to make civil society braver, more creative and hopeful, presenting a positive vision of why democracy - and those who defend it - matter.”
