False voting information
Claims about where, when and how to vote, or about eligibility and results, are detected, grouped into claim families and triaged to respond or hold.
Gov AI mission
Election integrity that protects the process, not any party
Gov AI gives election authorities and security agencies early sight of threats to the electoral process across 9 platforms, press and broadcast in 11+ languages. It detects false information about where and how to vote, coordinated inauthentic campaigns, incitement around results and threats against election staff and sites, and supports transparent, human-approved corrections from the electoral authority.
The challenge
What the mission is up against
Election periods compress every risk into a few weeks. False claims about polling dates, voter eligibility or results spread in local languages and on community radio, coordinated networks amplify them, and threats against officials and polling stations rise around the count.
Authorities have to respond quickly while staying strictly neutral. Monitoring must focus on the integrity of the process and the safety of the people in it, under clear rules that protect the lawful political speech of candidates, parties, journalists and voters.
Fused sources
Every discipline that feeds the picture
Each source keeps its provenance and handling caveats as it is fused, so analysts can see what is corroborated and by what.
- SOCMINT
- Public posts about voting procedures, results and election staff across 9 platforms in 11+ languages, with coordination and origin analysis.
- OSINT
- Press, official notices and transcribed radio and television, where many false claims about voting first circulate.
- GEOINT
- Incidents and reported disruptions mapped against polling stations, counting centers and geofenced sites.
- HUMINT
- Structured reports from election officials and security officers at polling stations and counting centers.
Capabilities
What Gov AI brings to election integrity
Coordinated inauthentic behavior
Accounts that post in lockstep, reuse wording or amplify together are grouped and scored, origins are traced, and an analyst rules on each finding.
Recycled media and citations
The recycled media inspector shows when an old image or video returns with a new caption, and citation maps show which reports rest on the same source.
Transparent corrections
The electoral authority publishes factual corrections from its attributed official accounts, stress-tested against their sources and approved by a person.
Election-day operations
Incidents are commanded from one board, field reports arrive from polling stations, and ops-room wall displays keep the operations center on one picture.
Threats to officials and sites
Threat triggers fire when election staff or sites are named alongside hostile language or a graded threat term, and geofences cover polling and counting locations.

Safeguards
Lawful, proportionate and accountable
Built for oversight
Gov AI enforces the mandate an agency operates under. Access follows clearance and need-to-know, consequential actions need a human decision, and every step is written to a tamper-evident audit trail.
Trust & security- Monitoring is nonpartisan and scoped to the electoral process: voting information, coordinated inauthentic behavior, incitement and threats to people and sites.
- Candidates, parties, journalists and voters are not profiled or risk-rated for their political views, and lawful political speech is not a threat indicator.
- Corrections come only from the electoral authority’s attributed official accounts and are approved by a person; the platform never uses bots, fake accounts or inauthentic amplification.
- Coordination findings are inferences put to an analyst, with the limits of the collection stated, before any action is taken.
- Role-based access and the tamper-evident audit trail record every ruling, correction and release.
FAQ
Questions agencies ask
No. Election-integrity work in Gov AI is scoped to the process itself: accurate voting information, coordinated inauthentic behavior, incitement and the safety of staff and sites. It does not rate or profile candidates, parties or voters for their views.
Collection and claim detection cover 11+ languages, including isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Setswana, Swahili, Shona and Portuguese, and radio and television are transcribed so claims made on air are visible too.
The cluster is put to an analyst with its scores, its evidence and the limits of the collection. If the analyst confirms it, the authority can report the accounts to the platforms and publish a factual correction from its official accounts.
