YouTube is launching new features to provide accurate election information and boost transparency ahead of the U.S. election. These include reminders on how to vote, candidate information panels, and live streams from trusted news sources.
When users search for candidates, YouTube will show details like their political party and official channels. On Election Day, YouTube will offer real-time vote counts through Google’s election results feature.
To ensure election integrity, YouTube will highlight synthetic media using AI tags and is working with Google’s Threat Analysis Group to combat misinformation and foreign interference. With the election just days away, these tools aim to keep voters informed and safe online.
