Meta restricts new political ads for final week before US Election Day

Jon Loomer reports that Meta is implementing a restriction period on political, election, and social-issue ads in the US during the final week before Election Day. Beginning at 12:01 am Pacific on October 27 and ending November 3, new political ads cannot launch, though ads approved and served at least once before the restriction begins may continue to run with limited edits—budget, bid, end date, and pause/unpause status only. Creative, targeting, placement, and optimization changes are blocked during the window. Advertisers running political campaigns should seek approval well in advance to avoid review delays.
