Mecklenburg County Election Center Tour

Join Team Democracy, the Trusted Neighbors Network, and the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections for a front row view into Mecklenburg County Elections.

Ever wonder what actually happens to your ballot after you drop it in the box? Team Democracy is partnering with County Boards of Elections across North Carolina for behind-the-scenes tours of your local election office. Whether you've never set foot in an election office or you know the process inside and out, these tours give you a front-row seat alongside the people who run it.

These tours are taking place in counties across North Carolina so you can see the "life of a ballot" up close no matter where you live. At each stop you'll get a look at the stuff that never makes the news, like how a ballot gets designed, printed, and counted. You'll also get a chance to sit down with the experts in your community who have been running elections for years to chat and ask questions.

Through the Election Center Tour Series you will:

• See your county's election process up close
• Learn the "life of a ballot," from start to finish
• Get real answers on topics like election security
• Sit down and ask questions directly to the people running your county's elections
