Misinformation can severely impact electoral integrity by distorting public perception and undermining trust in the political process. False information may sway voters, create confusion, and escalate polarization, leading to manipulated outcomes. Campaigns based on misinformation can erode the foundation of democratic elections, as citizens make choices based on inaccurate data. This disruption not only affects the immediate election results but also diminishes overall public confidence in legitimate democratic processes and institutions, posing long-term challenges for political participation.
