Resolved Mis- or disinformation

Outcome

Mis- or Disinformation

Overview

The complaint is about a post that contains election misinformation.

Background & Outcome

This is a baseless allegation. With Party Agents observing the entire process it is very unlikely that misconduct of this nature would occur. The claims being circulated are clearly false and are being spread with malice. Even if there is some merit to the complaint, the rumor that is being formed could cause serious damage. Disclaimer: This view is based on the evidence presently available, and it is informed by a review of applicable legislation and/or policies during the present elections period. It is solely the view of the Real411 Secretariat, and it is not binding on the IEC or other Real411 partners.
