During an election there are rules about what you can and can’t do on social media. Here’s how you can follow the rules – and what you can do if something doesn’t seem right.
What to do if something doesn't look right
If you see something on social media that doesn’t look right, there may be some things you can do.
Using social media on election day
On election day additional restrictions apply when you’re posting on social media.
From midnight before election day until 7pm on election day, you can’t post or share any content that’s likely to - or is intended to - influence someone’s candidate vote or party vote.
Paid online election advertising is prohibited on election day.
The election day rules make no exemption for the expression of personal political views online.
