Elections Canada has released this resource with some common bits of false or misleading content about elections on social media: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=dis&document=index&lang=e

We plan on pinning this resource, and we are proposing the following rules:

  • Posts or comments with inaccurate or misleading information from this list will be removed, and users are encouraged to report them
  • Repeatedly posting such content will result in a ban from the community until April 28 (at a minimum)

So far we haven’t noticed any serious issues, but we want to get ahead of anything that might come up

    That sounds like a good idea to me. I’d say the first link is probably the best/most accessible single-page resource, but the third’s “Learn More” section of links the most comprehensive overall – it even directly links the first resource. Given the length of articles that get traction here, I think this is a community that can handle the comprehensive option.
