Making elections more transparent? Lessons from the implementation of digital imprints at the 2024 UK General Election
ABSTRACT Transparency has often been proposed as a solution to the use of digital technology in election campaigns, being seen to counter negative democratic effects. And yet, few studies have documented how transparency reforms are being enacted in practice. Drawing insight from research on the implementation of digital regulation, in this paper we consider how democratic actors comply with new transparency requirements.
Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries
|
Abstract Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists.

Online political adverts: The effect of disclosures and opportunities for clandestine campaigning
Experimental evidence that source disclosures on political adverts affect voter attitudes. Non-informative disclosures create the opportunity to circumvent partisan censor of political adverts: clandestine campaigning. Findings have direct relevance to current policy discussions around badging and imprint regimes for online political adverts. INTRODUCTION The rise of digital technology has had a seismic impact on the information landscape (Bimber, 2003; Jungherr et al., 2020, p.
How big donors fund our political parties
Nearly a month back, at a time when candidates were still fighting for their seats, we reported on donations made to political parties during the first 3 weeks of campaigning for the 2024 general election. Now Labour have secured their victory, the full figures for the ‘prepoll period’ – spanning from May 30th to election day – have been released by the Electoral Commission.
First three weeks of donation data show that money is attracted to power
From the dissolution of Parliament through to polling day, political parties are legally required to report any large sums of money they receive in donations. Within the first three weeks of campaigning for the upcoming general election, parties accepted over £12 million. Considering how they are polling, it is perhaps unsurprising that from this hefty sum, £8.8 million poured into Labour (including donations made to the Co-operative Party).
Candidate selections reflect the barriers for women in politics
Last week, all UK political parties confirmed which candidates they were standing in each constituency for the 2024 general election. Including independents, a total of 4,515 candidates will be fighting for a seat in the next government. If you’ve already tried out our candidate name game, you’d have seen how the most common name was David, owned by a whopping 104 candidates. The Johns came in second with 84 candidates called by this name, and the Pauls a close third with a total of 79.
Digital imprints: what are they and why are they useful?
This general election will be the biggest we’ve seen yet for online campaigning. It’s an area where the ERS, along with many others, have long called for updates in electoral law. While there is still a long way to go, one positive step towards this end was introduced in the Elections Act of 2022 which set out new transparency requirements for UK campaigners. ‘Digital imprints’ are designed to make it clear to the public which person or organisation is responsible for promoting an advert.
