Ready to Vote: Elections, Technology & Political Campaigning in the United Kingdom

In this report, we present recommendations to integrate democratic norms and practices into the use of information technologies, social media, and big data in political campaigns. We are committed to protecting the integrity of elections in ways that harness the opportunities that digital technology provides for democracy and that underscore civic freedoms. Because technology has become deeply entrenched in political life, we need rules for it that go beyond protecting democracy by utilizing these very technologies to strengthen it.
