ELECTIONS

During European and national elections, signatories of the Code of Conduct are implementing a rapid response system (RRS) to streamline the exchange of information between civil society organisations, fact-checkers and online platforms – as foreseen in the Code. This collaborative initiative involves both Non-platform and Platform Signatories to ensure rapid and effective cooperation and communication between them ahead and during the respective election period.

The rapid response system – which was first piloted during the 2024 European elections – is a time-bound dedicated framework of cooperation and communication among relevant signatories, which allows non-platform signatories to swiftly report time-sensitive content, accounts, or trends that they deem to present threats to the integrity of the electoral process and discuss them with the platforms in light of their respective policies.
