Location

Madrid, Spain

In late February, as part of the Action Coalition on Information Integrity in Elections, we brought together electoral stakeholders, global experts, and tech platforms, including representatives from Meta, X, TikTok, and LinkedIn, for an expert strategic dialogue on information integrity in elections.

With 2025 set to be another important election year, discussions centred on emerging threats, strategies to promote information integrity, and strengthening global and national coalitions. This event focused on fostering partnerships and collaboration between coalitions and tech platforms to build resilient information ecosystems.

Launched by the Global Policy Centre for Governance in 2022, the Action Coalition has regularly convened experts from the field to build a collective understanding of the challenges and responses to protect the integrity of information ecosystems during elections.

Read this outcome paper to learn about global reflections from election stakeholders.
