REBIC – Looking For Information About Candidates Running in the Primary Election? The Election Hub is a Great Place to Start

What is The Election Hub?

The Election Hub began as a project of the Civic Knowledge Initiative, a 501(c)(3) organization that aims to provide unbiased and helpful information for voters in the Carolinas.  The Election Hub provides a free online voter guide that contains no advertising.

About the Civic Knowledge Initiative

Civic Knowledge Initiative is a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to making it easy for every citizen to find, understand, and act on reliable information about their local government and elected officials.

We Believe 

Democracy thrives on informed participation.

Local elections matter. They shape your schools, roads, public safety, and tax dollars, or “traffic, trees and trash” as we often say.

Information should be free, unbiased, and easy to access.

We currently focus on North Carolina, building election hubs that collect and simplify everything voters need to know about upcoming elections. As we grow, we plan to expand to other regions and states, ensuring that no voter is left in the dark about their ballot.

What We Value

Clarity

We cut through the noise and jargon to share facts that matter. Our election hubs are designed to be straightforward, easy to navigate, and free of unnecessary complexity—so voters can spend less time searching and more time deciding.​

Accessibility

Democracy works best when it works for everyone. We make our resources free, mobile-friendly, and easy to understand, so no one is left out because information was too hard to find or understand.

Nonpartisanship

We never endorse candidates or political parties. Our only agenda is to make sure every voter has access to reliable, unbiased information to make their own choices.​

Trust

Every fact we share is verified and sourced from the candidates themselves as well as other official or reputable outlets. We’re transparent about where our information comes from, so you can trust what you read and use it with confidence.

OMB monitors the County’s budget to help inform management of resources.

Rob’s Take: The Election Hub is a fantastic resource that I became aware of a couple of election cycles ago because I am a subscriber to The Charlotte Ledger. If you do anything in real estate within the Charlotte Region, you should also be a subscriber. They do a great job of keeping tabs on local current events and reporting on just the facts, the way most news organizations used to report. To me, the Election Hub is most helpful when it comes to researching judges. I’d encourage you to take a look as you consider your selections for the Primary Election races.
