# Recital (62)

Without prejudice to the rules provided for in Regulation (EU) 2024/900 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council (34), and in order to address the risks of undue external interference with the right to vote enshrined in 
Article 39 of the Charter, and of adverse effects on democracy and the rule of law, AI systems intended to be used to 
influence the outcome of an election or referendum or the voting behaviour of natural persons in the exercise of 
their vote in elections or referenda should be classified as high-risk AI systems with the exception of AI systems 
whose output natural persons are not directly exposed to, such as tools used to organise, optimise and structure 
political campaigns from an administrative and logistical point of view.
