Sundar Pichai voted in the Indian Elections-2019.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The post claimed that Sundar Pichai had voted in India’s 2019 elections, using his photograph as support. FACTLY’s review says the image was not evidence of a 2019 visit to vote: it was taken during Pichai’s 2017 visit to IIT Kharagpur, his alma mater. The review also states that Pichai is a US citizen and therefore could not vote in Indian elections. Together, the image’s earlier provenance and the citizenship point address both the post’s visual suggestion and whether Pichai was eligible to cast a ballot. FACTLY concludes that he did not vote in the 2019 Indian elections.

EVMs being burnt in Mandi, Poonch district and all the votes went to BJP only.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The post attributed footage of burning EVMs to Mandi in Poonch district and alleged that BJP had hacked them so votes for any party went to BJP. The review found that the video instead dated to April 9, 2017, during the by-election for the Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency. This contradicts the post’s identification of the footage as a current event in Mandi.

A claim that you do not need A WAEC certificate to become the President of Nigeria.
Publisher’s rating: True
The claim arose during the 2019 presidential campaign, when APC campaign spokesperson Festus Keyamo said on Channels Television that a WAEC certificate was not required to become president. The review says he was responding to allegations about whether his principal, the sitting president, possessed the certificate; it distinguishes that dispute from the separate question of what the law requires of candidates. It reports that Keyamo said the president did possess the certificate, while arguing that possession of a WAEC certificate was not a qualification for the office. [S1]
