Check a video freeWhat triggers it
Misleading voters about when, where or how to vote or who can vote; false claims about current candidates' or officials' legal eligibility (age, citizenship, being alive); encouraging people to interfere with voting.
What YouTube says
“Content aiming to mislead voters about the time, place, means, or eligibility requirements for voting, or false claims that could materially discourage voting.”
How to fix it
Check voting dates and procedures against official sources and link them; remove calls to disrupt voting.
Good to know
Check voting dates, methods and eligibility claims against official sources. Jokes like 'vote by text' can be taken literally. Political opinion, criticism and debunking are not this.
