In 2024, elections will impact nearly half the globe. Artificial intelligence (#AI) has transformed digital spaces, and if left unchecked, can disrupt elections. We aim to mitigate these risks through our #media, #technology, and #genderequality work: https://bit.ly/42M8EHx

In 2024, billions of people will participate in elections that will significantly impact people’s lives and the future of democracy worldwide. However, false narratives, conspiracy theories, and baseless claims of election fraud pose a global threat, eroding trust in democracy and threatening the safety of citizens, journalists, elections workers, and political candidates, especially women in politics. To help mitigate the impact of these risks, we created a guide to provide practical lessons, activities, and resources that cover the entire electoral cycle, addressing the evolving information landscape, the role of media in elections, cognitive biases, and strategies to identify and combat misinformation. We are delighted to share this resource to foster a more informed and engaged electorate, ultimately strengthening information integrity and democratic processes around the world.
