Foreign influence during elections is exerted mainly through media, funding, and campaign strategies. Foreign governments or entities may attempt to sway public opinion through misinformation campaigns on social media, aiming to create division or support particular candidates. Additionally, funding campaigns or advocacy groups can help amplify specific issues aligned with foreign interests. This external influence raises concerns about national sovereignty and the integrity of electoral processes, ultimately leading to calls for stricter regulations on campaign financing and greater transparency to protect democratic systems.
