The truth about elections, held to a single standard.

Five categories, never conflated

The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.

Unequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.

Cyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.

Troll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.

Patterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.

A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.

From the case files

The clearest test of a trustworthy record is whether it can hold both statements at once.

Process violationsConfirmed
The Constitutional Court, acting ex officio, annulled the entire first round on 6 December 2024 and ordered the process restarted, after intelligence was declassified on 4 December.

Information operationsConfirmed
A coordinated inauthentic operation on TikTok artificially amplified the leading candidate; TikTok removed 27,217 inauthentic accounts and France’s VIGINUM documented the astroturfing and covert influencer recruitment.

Foreign interferenceContested
That Russia or any specific foreign state directed or funded the operation — not established. VIGINUM concluded the sponsor remained unknown, and the annulment ruling itself did not explicitly attribute the operation to a foreign state.

Result falsificationDebunked
No ballot falsification or miscount was alleged or found. A recount confirmed the first-round tally; the annulment rested on campaign conduct and finance, not on altered vote totals.
