| 43. | Contributing to protecting the integrity of a specific election cannot be done without knowledge of the specific national, legal, societal, and political context as well as timely reactions to real-time developments affecting the risks generated by VLOPs or VLOSEs services. Procedures and organisational structures for elections differ from Member State to Member State and even from one election to another. Providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs should be aware of the applicable national election governance structure for the elections at hand and the role of various authorities. By gaining a good understanding of specific national procedures such as the delimitation of the electoral campaign periods, timing of the official designation of election candidates, and election silence periods, providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs may design risk mitigation measures taking into account the specific aspects of the relevant Member State.
