Paragraph 11
 

Specifically, “[t]he internet has given people unprecedented access to information about elections and enabled them to express their opinions, interact with candidates and get actively involved in electoral campaigns[, while s]ocial media in particular constitute the predominant platform of political debate and, as such, they are sources of political information”. Moreover, internet helps to ensure that information reaches marginalised groups and diaspora and allow them to participate in electoral debates.
