Hello @Karaan,
This is a tricky subject. People usually respond in a ready way: use nofollow!
However, if you have confidence in the links you are referring to and depending on what these sites are, I would recommend that you use dofollow.
The main point is how much you trust these links. If you do not trust at all, use nofollow.
A priori government sites are reliable.
PS: Always prefer original content.
