This item will show under the following categories: TechnologyWith a General Election set to take place on 04 July 2024, many people have questions about how their data may be used during the election campaign. Personal information is an important part of political campaigning - it allows political parties to get crucial messages to voters and helps them to understand the key issues for different people.

They’ve set out answers to some of the common questions that are asked during elections.
