<v Speaker 1>Around forty percent of the world's population have voted or

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>will have the chance to vote, and those votes will

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>shape the geoeconomic landscape for years to come. The implications

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.720
