@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialBefore sharing an election claim, check the source. Start with the NC State Board of Elections or your county board of elections and confirm the facts.
Good information strengthens communities.
Think. Check. Verify. Then share.
#TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Civics🇺🇸 #Elections🗳️ #Community
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialVerification continues after voting.
After every NC election, bipartisan teams hand-count randomly selected paper ballots and compare them with machine-tabulated results before certification.
Paper. People. Independent checks.
#TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Elections🗳️ #Civics🇺🇸 #Community
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialBefore every NC election, county boards conduct logic and accuracy testing on every voting machine that will be used. After testing, equipment is sealed and securely stored until needed.
Testing happens before voting begins.
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialElections are run by people in our communities. NC polling places are staffed by trained, bipartisan local officials, while bipartisan county and state boards oversee elections.
Different perspectives. A shared process.
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialDid you know? NC voting machines may not be connected to the internet and contain no modems or modem chips.
Understanding safeguards like this helps us separate facts about our elections from assumptions.
#TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Elections🗳️ #Civics #Community
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialEvery NC county uses paper ballots. That creates a physical record of the vote that can be audited or recounted to help verify election results.
Real votes. A real record. Another layer of verification.

@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialWhat is "canvass"?
It's the process NC uses to determine that votes were counted and tabulated correctly before results become official.
Ballots and records are reviewed, audits occur, and other required checks are completed.
The checking is part of the process.
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialHow does NC check the machines?
After every election, randomly selected paper ballots are counted by hand by bipartisan teams in every county.
Those hand counts are compared with machine totals before certification.
Paper ballots. Hand counts. Verification.
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialElection night results are unofficial. That's normal.
After Election Day, eligible ballots are still reviewed, audits occur, recounts may happen when required, and results go through canvass before certification.
Election night ➡️ results. Certification ➡️ official.
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialElections aren't just machines and ballots. They're people.
NC polling places are staffed by trained, bipartisan election officials from local communities.

@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialBefore every election, NC county boards conduct logic and accuracy testing on every voting machine that will be used.
The goal: make sure ballots are coded correctly and votes are counted accurately.
Don't just trust the process. Learn the process.

@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialWhy does paper matter?
NC voters use hand-marked paper ballots or ballot-marking devices that create a paper record.
That physical record can be used to audit or recount results.
Technology helps count votes. Paper helps verify the count.
#TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Civics #Community #Elections🗳️
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialWhat happens after you mark your ballot?
NC votes create a paper record that can be retained, recounted, and audited. Voting equipment tabulates ballots, while the paper record helps officials verify the count.
This week, we're looking at how that process works.
@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialMake your voting plan:
☑ Check your registration
☑ Know your voting options
☑ Find your polling place
☑ Review voter ID requirements
☑ Decide when you'll vote
☑ Remind a neighbor
A few minutes now can make voting easier later.

@trustedneighborsnc.bsky.socialNC voters will be asked to show a valid photo ID when voting in person.
No acceptable ID? You may still have voting options. County boards can also provide free voter photo IDs to registered voters.
Know the rules before you vote.
