Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyze the impact of technological influences of Big Data and algorithms on the right to free elections. It has become a recurring practice to target and manipulate the audience for political election campaigns through the information collected about candidates with the help of big data processing and the use of various voting applications. We thus wonder what this balance will tip towards in this context- towards ensuring the right to free elections or towards freedom of expression which includes both the freedom to impart and to receive information.
