In August, Wake County Indivisible introduced a thoughtful, community-centered initiative focused on bringing local elections and candidates into the spotlight.
With major decisions being made close to home, it's more important than ever that voters understand who’s on the ballot, what they stand for, and how their platforms will impact our daily lives.
Our project includes video profiles of local candidates and a community-led panel event, where residents had the chance to hear directly from candidates and ask their own questions
The goal is simple: more informed voters, stronger communities, and a local democracy that works for everyone.

Do you want to help ICE-proof Wake County? Siembra NC has offered to conduct an in-person training and information session for Wake County Indivisible members who want to participate in Siembra’s Fourth Amendment Workplace initiative! Fourth Amendment Workplaces are businesses where everyone knows their rights related to search and seizure and take proactive measures to defend against ICE raids. In conversation with Siembra, Wake County Indivisible has learned of several areas in Wake County specifically where we can plug into their campaign to help keep immigrants and workers safe:
canvas downtown Raleigh to connect with businesses;
network with larger organizations (such health care centers or libraries);
get city/town council members to sign on to Siembra’s Stand Up campaign.
Do you want to attend this training/information session, or do you have further questions? Please email wci@wakecountyindivisible.org

The North Carolina State Board of Elections requires that voter registrations include driver’s license numbers and/or the last four digits of the voter’s Social Security number. Any mismatch — even due to a simple clerical error — will result in the voter being denied a regular ballot and being forced to vote provisionally
What’s more concerning is that the window for correcting (or “curing”) a provisional ballot has been shortened, which means over 100,000 voters in North Carolina may lose their vote altogether.
