You Can Now Turn Off All Political Ads on Facebook

Ahead of the 2020 United States presidential election, Facebook is launching a new Voting Information Center. This is an effort to inform people about the election, including guidance on registering to vote and how, when, and where to vote on the big day.

However, in conjunction with this effort to inform and educate, Facebook is also giving people the option to turn off all political ads. So if you already know who you’re voting for, you can choose to never again see another political ad on Facebook.

How to Turn Off All Political Ads on Facebook

To turn off all political ads on Facebook:

4. Click Hide Ad Topics.
5. Click Social Issues, Election or Politics.
6. Select See Fewer Ads About This Topics.

You can also turn off political advertising from an individual advert. When you see an ad with the “Paid for by” political disclaimer attached, click on the information bubble and select “See Fewer Ads About This Topic”. This is quicker, but relies on you seeing an ad first.
