Elections (Integrity of Online Advertising) (Amendment) Bill

Output In force 2024-09 MDDI / Elections Department

Core Point

Bans deepfakes during elections: prohibits publishing "misleading, AI-generated content that purports to depict candidates' statements or conduct".

Detailed Note

A 2024 amendment to the Elections Act targeting deepfakes specifically. Core clause: during the campaign period (from issuance of the writ of election to polling day) it is unlawful to publish "misleading, AI-generated, deepfake content purporting to represent statements or conduct of candidates". Anyone who publishes, shares or funds such content commits an offence. During the campaign window the authorities may issue corrective directions requiring platforms to take down content, block access or display correction statements. This is among the earliest targeted election-deepfake laws in the world, ahead of the corresponding provisions in the EU AI Act.
