The Modernization of Election Data Systems (MEDS) Advisory Commission, created and chaired by State Auditor Dave Boliek, is leading the effort to modernize North Carolina’s elections infrastructure — including replacing the Statewide Elections Information Management System (SEIMS), which has been in place since 1998.
This bipartisan commission brings together government leaders, nonprofit organizations, and technical experts to guide a transparent, data driven process for improving how elections are managed across the state.
Since the first meeting in February, the commission has gathered public input, consulted with experts, and supported detailed request for proposals to find the right vendors for this work. Recently, the Commission unanimously approved a resolution urging the General Assembly to provide sustained funding for a full system replacement.
New information management and campaign finance reporting systems will make it easier for the public to track political spending and for candidates to comply with rules and regulations; all in a secure, user-friendly environment.
As this work moves from planning to implementation, MEDS will continue to play a key role in ensuring North Carolina’s election systems are built to meet modern demands, with accountability and transparency at every step.
