Mr. Wayne Moroney:

One of the things we have done in co-ordination with other digital service co-ordinators and the European Commission is develop a toolkit for the approach to elections. This is a guidance for digital service co-ordinators to approach engagement with platforms and other national authorities. Next week we are doing our second electoral round-table with the platforms and authorities here in the country. This is an opportunity to present information and concerns to the platforms and engage in a question and answer session with them to express our concerns and the concerns of those in attendance. This is where we start to hold the platforms to account for their obligations and commitments under the DSA election guidelines and other features of the DSA. That will be followed by bilateral meetings with the platforms and the European Commission and, ultimately, engagement up to and after the election on the process itself overall. Not only do we do this on co-ordination for ourselves but we also participate in round-tables and support with other digital service co-ordinators across Europe too. This is a large-scale effort for all of us to learn and share best practice in the approach to safe elections.
