Trenchport Elections Office

The Trenchport Elections Office is the polished façade of a broken electoral system. On the surface, it is the institution responsible for maintaining voter records, overseeing elections, and ensuring the democratic process. Beneath that surface, however, it is the engine behind the city’s most elaborate illusion of free and fair elections. In reality, every vote cast in Trenchport is subject to manipulation, and the outcomes are decided long before ballots are even printed.

​

Their office is responsible for controlling voter rolls, determining district boundaries, and managing the counting process. Under their watch, voter suppression is a calculated art form, opposition districts face mysterious "clerical errors," ballots are lost or invalidated, and voting machines are prone to convenient malfunctions. Meanwhile, neighborhoods loyal to the city’s power brokers enjoy seamless and often unimpeded access to the polls.

​

Behind closed doors, the Elections Office serves as a marketplace where political futures are bought and sold. For the right price, a candidate can secure their victory, while dissenters are systematically disqualified or undermined. Whistleblowers are silenced through threats, blackmail, or disappearance, ensuring that no truth escapes the office’s shadowy grip. Those who seek to challenge the system quickly learn that in Trenchport, the will of the people is nothing more than a formality.

​

The office also operates as a vast intelligence-gathering arm for the city’s elite. Voter records are a treasure trove of personal information, and the Elections Office quietly shares this data with those willing to pay. This information is used to target enemies, suppress unfavorable demographics, and manipulate public opinion through carefully crafted misinformation campaigns.

​

For the average citizen, participating in the democratic process is an exercise in futility. Ballots are cast not to determine the city’s future, but to validate decisions already made in smoke-filled rooms. In Trenchport, the Elections Office is not a guardian of democracy; it is the mechanism by which the powerful maintain their grip, ensuring that no matter who runs, the system always wins.
