Google CEO says the company must be a “trusted source” in the US election

Hello Googlers!

Tomorrow is Election Day here, and many across the United States will head to the polls to vote for everything from the school board to judges, Congress and president.

The Google and YouTube teams have worked hard to ensure our platforms provide voters with quality, reliable information, just as we have done in many other elections around the world. Elections have been contested this year from France to India, Britain to Mexico and many more, with more than a billion people voting in 2024.

We should be proud of our work and the efforts of our teams to keep campaigns safe, provide accurate information about where and how to vote, and provide digital advertising solutions for campaigns. Thank you to everyone who works around the clock on these efforts throughout the election season and during the vote count.

As with other elections, the results will be a major topic of conversation in living rooms and other places around the world. And, of course, the result will have important consequences.

Whoever voters trust, let’s remember the role we play at work, through the products we create, and as a business: to be a trusted source of information for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. We will and must support this. In this spirit, it is important that everyone continues to follow our Community Guidelines and Personal Political Activities Policy.

After Election Day, our work to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful will continue. Al has given us a great opportunity to make progress on this mission, create great products and partnerships, drive innovation, and make significant contributions to the national and local economy. Our company achieves its best results when we focus on it.

Thank you, Sundar
