In 2021, the democracy index in Angola was at 3.37 points, positioning the country under the classification of "authoritarian regime". The low punctuation was influenced by a poor performance in three categories: electoral process and pluralism (1.33), civil liberties (2.65), and functioning of government (2.86). Overall, among 55 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Angola ranked as 26 in the democracy index.
The source specifies that: "the Democracy Index is based on five categories: electoral process and pluralism, the functioning of government, political participation, political culture, and civil liberties.".
"The index values are used to place countries within one of four types of regime:
1. Full democracies: scores greater than 8
2. Flawed democracies: scores greater than 6, and less than or equal to 8
3. Hybrid regimes: scores greater than 4, and less than or equal to 6
4. Authoritarian regimes: scores less than or equal to 4"
