Abstract In the digital age, the proliferation of fake news has emerged as a critical issue in political campaigns and elections worldwide. This paper examines the multifaceted role of fake news in influencing public opinion and electoral outcomes across various global contexts over a one-year period. It explores the mechanism through which misinformation is disseminated, particularly through social media platforms, and its impact on the democratic process. Employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, the study analyzes data from multiple countries to understand the pervasive influence of fake news. Is also scrutinizes the efforts taken by governments, civil societies, and media organizations to combat the spread of false information. The findings reveal a complex interplay between fake news, media literacy, and political propaganda, underscoring the challenges faced in safeguarding electoral integrity. This research not only contributes to the academic discourse on political communication and media studies but also offers practical insights for policymakers, media professionals, and the public in fostering a more informed and resilient democratic society.
