Election-time misinformation detection and fact-check distribution

The Opportunity

During high-stakes elections (like West Bengal 2026), political parties and candidates flood media with competing narratives, inflammatory claims, and accusations. Election Commission, media outlets, and fact-checkers need real-time systems to identify, verify, and distribute corrections across regional languages and platforms before false claims entrench. Current manual fact-checking cannot keep pace with the velocity of claims during campaign season.
