Dear Friend,
With a general election likely this year Full Fact are beginning to pay closer attention to claims made by political parties as they mount their campaigns in constituencies across the country.
In previous elections we’ve consistently seen political parties using misleading formats for their campaign materials—like pretending to be local newspapers—to gain votes.
Have you seen or received any campaign materials that you are not sure about?
You can reply to this email with a photo or a scan of anything you’ve seen.
If you haven't seen anything make sure to join almost 14,000 people in calling for an end to political leaflets made to look like local newspapers.
Deceptive campaign practices risk misleading voters and undermining trust in the important institutions that protect our democracy—the local press, and the electoral system itself. Let’s put a stop to them together.
