Information Integrity during Elections: Collective effort to address mis and disinformation
In 2024, 4 billion people will participate in elections across 64 countries, making it the biggest election year in history. The integrity of these elections is at risk due to disinformation campaigns, which can polarize society. Wikimedia projects are essential platforms for providing free and neutral and information, including on elections and are therefore critical to the democratic process. Community editors play crucial role in governance and content moderation, while the WMF supports communities to mitigate disinformation campaigns, and connect with other stakeholders. This panel aims to stocktake the effort of WMF and community editos in addressing disinformation during elections.
