On 29 July 2018, the Cabinet Office launched an open consultation entitled ‘Protecting the Debate: Intimidating, Influence and Information’, which seeks views on proposed changes to electoral law, including the inclusion of imprints on digital campaign materials. The consultation closed on 28 October 2018 and is available at GOV.UK.

The Government is considering the contributions of all interested parties and will publish a response to the feedback received. Facebook and Google, along with other relevant organisations, were encouraged to submit responses.
