Tweets which include premature claims of a victory in an election will be labeled and direct people to our official US Election page in Explore.
Tweets that encourage others to interfere with the election process or the results will be removed. https://help.twitter.com/rules-and-policies/election-integrity-policy

Starting next week, when people attempt to Retweet a Tweet with a misleading information label, they will see a prompt directing them to credible information about the topic before they can amplify it.
To continue to address the risk of misinformation, we'll add warnings and further restrictions on Tweets with misleading information labels from accounts owned by US political figures, US-based accounts with 100,000+ followers, or Tweets that obtain significant engagement.
We’ll temporarily ask people to add their own commentary before amplifying content by prompting Quote Tweets instead of Retweets. We hope this encourages everyone to consider why they are amplifying a Tweet, and brings more thoughts, reactions & perspectives to the conversation.
We’re taking more steps to encourage thoughtful amplification by preventing Tweets that have been “followed by” and “liked by” accounts you don’t follow from showing up in your timeline.
We will only surface Trends in the “For You” tab in the U.S. that include additional context. This will more quickly let people know why something is trending and also help reduce the potential for misleading information to spread.
Our goal is to continue to provide access to critical information and encourage participation in the conversation during #Election2020 .
