The government is determined to protect our democratic and electoral processes.

The government has worked with a large number of organisations to do this, including social media companies and civil society organisations, and would like to thank them for their continued support and work in this area.

As you would expect, the Government examines all aspects of the electoral process following an election, including foreign interference, and that work is ongoing.
