Ahead of Albania’s 2025 general election, International IDEA supported the creation of the country’s first Code of Conduct on Digital Campaigning, developed with the Central Election Commission, the National Democratic Institute and the University of Helsinki’s Rule of Law Centre.
International IDEA supported Moldova in organizing free and fair parliamentary elections against a backdrop of covert digital threats, unregulated online political advertising and coordinated third-party campaigning capable of undermining the integrity of results. Ahead of the elections, the Institute anticipated these risks by helping oversight bodies respond to threats and strengthening the Central Electoral Commission’s ability to oversee the compliance of online campaigning and political advertising.
