Is the information current? Things change between elections, including some parts of electoral law,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Second, check to see if the electoral campaign material is authorised. To protect the integrity of elections and discourage deliberate, anonymous attempts to affect the way people vote, laws are in place to ensure that<\/p>\n<p>whoever publishes electoral campaign material must authorise it. This means that the person who publishes the material must add their name and address to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone can publish electoral campaign material and by authorising it, has complied with the law. This is not an attempt to silence anyone or dissuade free speech, but it&#8217;s my responsibility as the state&#8217;s independent election umpire to ensure transparency about the source of the material.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Victorians have the right to be able to decide for themselves how much to trust the information put before them this election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the VEC had recently published updated guidance to make it clear what was expected when authorising electoral campaign material.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With digital and social media playing an increasingly important role in election campaigning, examples are also provided to assist in identifying what is or isn&#8217;t considered electoral campaign material on social media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are unsure of content about the election process that you have heard, read or seen, check the authorisation statement and then check our website as the source of truth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, it&#8217;s important to understand that we are not the arbiter of truth in political advertising.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on election material authorisation, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/vec.vic.gov.au\/candidates-and-parties\/become-a-state-election-candidate\/authorisation\">vec.vic.gov.au\/candidates-and-parties\/become-a-state-election-candidate\/authorisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For the misinformation register, head to<a href=\"http:\/\/vec.vic.gov.au\/voting\/2022-state-election\/sorting-fact-from-fiction\"> vec.vic.gov.au\/voting\/2022-state-election\/sorting-fact-from-fiction<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) has launched an online misinformation register to help voters sort fact from fiction as the state election approaches.
