Facebook Launches Hub on US Voting Info Ahead of November Election

State-led influence campaigns were prominent on social media during the 2016 US election and have been seen around the world.

Facebook said the Voting Information Center was another layer in its line of defense against interference in the lead-up to the November election.

"By providing clear, accurate and authoritative information to people, we will continue to reduce the ability of malicious networks to take advantage of uncertainty around the pandemic to interfere with the election.

"We encourage people in the US to use this new resource and make their voices heard by voting this fall."
