Social media obligations
The Election Commission has underlined that parties, candidates, their supporters and influencers must not share false, misleading or inflammatory information on platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube or messaging apps.
Coordinated disinformation campaigns, deepfake videos, manipulated images and anonymous pages that attack individuals on the basis of ethnicity, gender, religion or region are treated as serious violations.
Artificial intelligence and deepfakes
The code of conduct also restricts the use of artificial intelligence tools to generate content that could unfairly influence the election.
AI-generated audio or video that impersonates candidates, officials or public figures without clear labelling is considered a breach of the spirit of free and fair elections.
The Commission has urged platforms, media houses and civil society watchdogs to help flag and debunk such content quickly, and has encouraged citizens to verify sensational claims with reliable sources before sharing.
