Content that attempts to confuse, misinform, or mislead others about the civic process, including registering to vote or participating in an election, is prohibited. This includes any content that purposefully attempts to minimize civic participation.

It is important for content creators on the platform to have the flexibility and freedom to discuss politically-relevant content, including discussions on the electoral and civic processes. Therefore, we do not prohibit the following content:

• Generalized conversations about  participating in an electoral or civic process that do not serve to discourage others from participating

• Posting inaccurate information about political parties, elected officials, candidates, or government officials that are not intentionally misleading, slanderous, or violates any other community standard

• Organically created or shared political content that is controversial, partisan, or polarizing without violating any other community standard

Content that would violate this standard would include, but is not limited to:

• Misleading other individuals about the census, elections to office, ballot and referendum initiatives, and jury duty

• Sharing or publishing inaccurate information about participating in an election or civic process, including requirements for participation; laws, guidelines, and procedures on participating; and, the dates and times of an election or process

• Publishing or distributing unverified content about the results or circumstances of an election with the intention of delegitimizing the democratic process, including claims of ballot tampering, elections being rigged,  or ballot counts being inaccurately tallied

• Prematurely claiming victory for a political election, referendum, or ballot initiative or creating inaccurate content about the certification of a political election, referendum, or ballot initiative
