Ahead of the 2024 US election, Google has confirmed that Gemini will not answer questions about not only US elections, but elections around the globe.
Speaking to Reuters, Google confirmed that Gemini, its AI chatbot, is now restricted from answering questions about elections.
Gemini responds saying that it is “still learning how to answer this question,” directing users to go to traditional Google Search instead.

In a further statement, Google explains why these results are disabled(see screenshot) but also mentions that not all election-related queries are blocked. No examples of accepted queries were mentioned, though.
Google previously announced this would happen in December 2023 (when Gemini was still called Bard).
