What goes on behind the scenes in an NC election? This nonprofit wants you to know.
A new nonprofit in North Carolina will focus on spreading accurate information about how elections are run at a particularly volatile time when questions about vote counting and who gets to cast a ballot are increasing.
Keep Our Republic will host community conversations around the state on the “nuts and bolts” of the election process, from casting a ballot to certification, election security and even the use of artificial intelligence, said Deanna Ballard, a former Republican state senator who is Keep Our Republic’s North Carolina senior advisor.
‘It’s really having some of those conversations at the local level that help inform and engage those active community members who are going out to vote, leading into the 2026 general election but also the ‘28 cycle as well,” Ballard said.
Keep Our Republic is nonpartisan, said Executive Director Ari Mittleman.
