AI election content safety checker
Election content carries unusual risk, and AI makes it cheap to produce at scale: fabricated candidate statements, convincing deepfakes, and voter-suppression messaging that spreads false information about how, when, or where to vote. Many jurisdictions now require AI-generated political content to be disclosed, and the major platforms enforce their own policies. This checker scans pasted AI-generated text for the most common election-integrity risk patterns and reminds you of the disclosure and synthetic-media labelling expectations before you hit publish.
How it works
You paste the AI-generated political or election-related text and pick the jurisdiction. The checker runs a set of heuristics over the content: it looks for voter-suppression phrasing around dates, locations, eligibility, and voting methods; misleading impersonation of candidates or officials; premature claims about results; and signals that the content is AI-generated without disclosure. Each finding is rated by severity with an explanation and a suggested fix, and the checker surfaces a reminder about AI-disclosure and synthetic-media labelling that applies in most modern election regimes. It is a screening aid, not a verdict — it cannot read images or video and does not replace legal review.
What the checker looks for
Voter suppression patterns are the highest-risk category. These are phrases or claims that would give a voter incorrect information about how, when, or where to vote — wrong election dates, wrong polling locations, false eligibility rules (“you can vote by text”), or false voting method restrictions. AI models can generate plausible-sounding but wrong logistics from training data, and voter-suppression content is among the most directly harmful forms of election misinformation because it acts on the voting process itself.
Candidate or official impersonation involves putting words in a specific named person’s mouth — a fabricated quote attributed to a candidate, an invented statement by an election official, or content written as if spoken by a named real person. This is a high-risk pattern because the damage from a convincing fabricated quote spreads faster than corrections.
Premature or false result claims are statements about election outcomes before they are officially certified. Claims that a candidate has won or lost before official results are announced, or that results were manipulated, are both factually problematic and often illegal to publish in certain forms in many jurisdictions.
Missing AI-generation disclosure is flagged as a reminder even when the content itself appears clean. Most major jurisdictions and platforms now expect political content that is AI-generated to be labelled as such. This requirement often applies to AI-assisted content — content where a model produced or significantly shaped the final output — not just fully autonomous generation.
Jurisdiction-specific expectations
Disclosure requirements for AI-generated political content vary by country and jurisdiction, and the checker’s reminders adjust to the region you select. The general trend across most modern democracies and major platforms is toward mandatory disclosure, with some jurisdictions requiring specific wording or placement. The checker cannot provide legal advice, but it reminds you of the type of disclosure that is expected and points to where platform policies often go further than national law.
What this checker does not do
It cannot analyse images, audio, or video — only pasted text. Synthetic media detection for audio and video requires different tools. It is a heuristic screening tool, not a legal determination; content that passes the checker may still be problematic under specific laws, and content that is flagged may be entirely lawful in the right context. Election law is jurisdiction-specific and changes frequently; confirm conclusions with qualified counsel.
Tips and notes
- Disclose AI generation. When in doubt, label political content as AI-generated; most jurisdictions and platforms now expect it.
- Never state voting logistics from a model. Dates, locations, and eligibility must come from an authoritative source, not a generator.
- Do not impersonate. Putting words in a candidate’s or official’s mouth is among the highest-risk categories.
- Check the platform rules too. Each major platform has its own AI election policy that can be stricter than local law.
- Nothing you paste is stored. The analysis runs entirely in your browser.
