Gwalior To combat the spread of misinformation and maintain the integrity of the electoral process in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Myth vs Reality Register for Lok Sabha Elections has been launched by the Election Commission of India (ECI). It was launched by Chief Election Commissioner Shri Rajeev Kumar, Election Commissioner Shri Gyanesh Kumar and Shri Sukhbir Singh Sandhu at Nirvachan Sadan, New Delhi. Myth vs Reality Register is available on the website of Election Commission of India (https://mythvsreality.eci.gov.in/). The factual matrix of the register will be updated regularly.

The Myth vs Reality Register portal will provide factual information to counter misinformation, myths and lies spread during the election period. This will help in disseminating the facts.
