TikTok Launches ‘2026 Thailand Election Center’ to Protect Platform Integrity and Ensure Community Safety

Partnership with the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT), COFACT, and Thai PBS Verify to elevate authoritative information and combat harmful misinformation

TikTok, the global discovery platform, today officially launched its in-app “2026 Thailand Election Center” in collaboration with the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT), COFACT, and Thai PBS Verify. This strategic initiative is designed to provide our Thai community with access to reliable, verified information, ensuring they are equipped to make informed decisions for the upcoming General Election on February 8, 2026.

The 2026 Thailand Election Center can be accessed through in-app search prompts and informative banners and will provide users with links to authoritative sources. The center houses centralized information on voting procedures, polling locations, and candidate lists sourced directly from the ECT, ensuring that users can access authoritative information when they search for election-related terms.

Mr.Sawaeng Boonmee, Secretary-General of the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT), stated: “Collaborating with TikTok for the 2026 Thailand Election Center is a significant step toward ensuring that voters have access to accurate and timely information. Through this partnership, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering Thai citizens to participate in the electoral process with confidence.”

To safeguard the platform, TikTok employs a proactive approach to content integrity, including removing harmful misinformation regarding civic processes and labeling unverified claims. According to TikTok’s latest Community Guidelines Enforcement Report in 2025, TikTok achieved a 99.5% proactive removal rate for violative content in Thailand, meaning that the vast majority of violative content was removed before it was reported to us. The platform also maintains a strict ban on political advertising and prohibits accounts belonging to politicians, governments, or political parties (GPPPAs) from accessing monetization features.

“Elections are pivotal moments for community dialogue. We remain focused on keeping our community safe while protecting the integrity of the TikTok platform,” said Mrs.Chanida Klyphun, Director of Public Policy – SEA, TikTok. “By enforcing robust policies and collaborating with experts like the ECT, COFACT, and Thai PBS Verify, we aim to foster an environment of digital literacy and responsible participation.”

“Our safety measures are built to stay ahead of evolving threats. By deploying industry-leading technology like Content Credentials to detect AI-generated content (AIGC) and providing users with reporting tools to flag misleading information, we ensure that TikTok remains a secure space for electoral discourse.” Mrs. Klyphun added.

TikTok’s Three Core Approaches for 2026’s Thailand Election Integrity

• PROTECT: Safeguarding Platform Integrity through Proactive Defense – protects the integrity of the election by removing harmful misinformation regarding civic and electoral processes. Our safety model is driven by proactive measures and supported by tens of thousands of safety professionals globally, Furthermore, TikTok is the first video platform to implement Content Credentials (C2PA) technology to automatically detect and label AI-generated content (AIGC), ensuring the platform remains a safe and authentic space for everyone.
• EMPOWER: Connecting Users to Authoritative and Reliable Information – empowers our community by providing a direct gateway to reliable information from authoritative sources. Through the launch of the in-app “Thailand Election Center,” we connect millions of voters to official data from the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT), including voting procedures, candidate lists, and other essential details. This ensures that users can easily access facts that have been thoroughly vetted for accuracy.
• PARTNER: Collaborating with Experts to Counter Emerging Threats – partner with a global and local ecosystem of experts to maintain the highest safety standards. We collaborate with 20 global fact-checking organizations and local leaders such as COFACT and Thai PBS Verify to validate claims and disrupt coordinated Influence Operations (IO). Additionally, we ensure that accounts belonging to politicians or political parties cannot access TikTok’s advertising or monetization tools.

Supinya Klangnarong, co-founder of COFACT, said: “As misinformation continues to challenge elections, we are excited to build on our collaboration with TikTok. We aim to help Thais navigate the digital landscape safely through digital literacy and verified information.”

The 2026 Election initiatives are built upon TikTok’s long-standing commitment to safety in Thailand. This includes the successful #ThaisAware project, a multi-year digital literacy program conducted in partnership with over 12 government and civil society agencies.

TikTok remains dedicated to collaborating with both public and private sectors to ensure its safety policies continue to evolve and meet the specific needs of the Thai community.
