We're looking for people like you to join us to strengthen our democratic republic.
The North Carolina Network for Fair, Safe, and Secure Elections is a cross-partisan initiative working for a more peaceful North Carolina where everyone can participate and have their voices heard.
Together we keep democracy strong.
Free, fair, and secure elections are the cornerstone of America's democratic republic. A peaceful, democratic republic ensures the protection of individual rights, upholds the rule of law, and promotes stability.
The Trusted Elections Network Is Now Managed by Catawba College
The NC Trusted Elections Network is now managed by Catawba College’s Center for North Carolina Politics & Public Service. Building on the work established through the Carter Center’s Democracy Resilience Network, the Network will continue bringing North Carolinians together to promote informed civic engagement, strengthen understanding of elections, and build public trust.

How It Works
As polarization increases, so does the risk of political and identity-based violence. The Network brings North Carolinians together who share a common concern for the future of our state and the mutual desire to build a more healthy democratic republic for all – regardless of political beliefs. Participants should:
Lead by Example
Promote peaceful resolution of disputes and differences through constructive engagement within your networks and across communities.
Promote Accurate Info
Share and create proactive messaging that promotes accurate information about our elections and build trust in our elections.
Take Action
Counter acts of intimidation or violence through dialogue, conflict-sensitive communication, and rapid response planning.
