During a recent visit to the London offices of the fact-checking organization Full Fact, I noticed an important question written on a whiteboard as the team prepared to fact-check the United Kingdom’s July 4 elections.
“What does a good election look like?”
This question is pivotal, especially for fact-checkers who aim to ensure election integrity. To effectively fact-check, we must understand how our efforts contribute to the overall quality of the election itself. How can our work actually lead to what Full Fact called “a good election”?
