Quoted by international media, trusted by EU institutions, nurtured by the European communities of fact-checkers, media literacy experts, and researchers, the EDMO Task Force on EU Elections 2024 has been a successful endeavor to monitor and counter disinformation ahead of the vote. Its work was built relying on the efforts of over 50 independent fact-checking organizations, part of the EDMO fact-checking network, and 14 EDMO hubs monitoring the disinformation at the local level. This Final Report summarizes the results of the Task Force’s work, first analyzing the main findings and then going deeper into the outputs and outcomes. It includes a summary of the successful #BeElectionSmart media iteracy campaign which ran for 6 weeks in the run-up to the elections.
