"After each general election, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) is required to submit a report to Parliament outlining recommendations that, in his view, will improve the administration of the Canada Elections Act. ... With a view to soliciting input from a diverse audience of stakeholders and experts to inform the CEO's recommendations to Parliament, Elections Canada has prepared a suite of three discussion papers on interrelated topics that are central to this question. ... The second paper, The Impact of Social Media Platforms in Elections, looks more closely at social media and digital advertising platforms and aims to promote discussion on the impacts that these platforms may have on elections and democracy"--Foreword, page 4.
