"Government ought to be all outside and no inside. . . Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety."
-Pres. Woodrow Wilson

About TENC

Transparent Elections NC was a non-partisan group of volunteers whose mission was to improve confidence in elections. From 2017 - 2022, TENC volunteers attended Board of Election meetings, election equipment testing, canvasses, audits and other publicly observable election processes - this helped our communities to stay informed about decisions the state and county BOEs were making. Ensuring that elections were transparent, secure, robustly audited, and publicly verified helped improve confidence in elections in NC.

Understanding and observing the election process is an important part of keeping our democracy working for the people.
