They have worked all spring and summer to get these precincts staffed. In each of the 167 precincts, Kids Voting will have voting booths set up for children who can mark their ballots and place them in the Kids Voting ballot box. The children go with their parents, guardians or other adults to the polls and they all vote at the same place. While children are encouraged to bring their parents, guardians or other adults to vote, no child is turned away if they are interested in voting.
Kids get excited to see who they chose, and compare their results with their parents' choices.
Kids Voting kicks off their election season September 23 with a candidate forum at Exploris. At the forum, cosponsored by Kids Voting and Exploris, students will have the opportunity to question candidates for Governor and the U.S. Congress. We're thrilled with their enthusiasm, and look forward to a great event. This is the third Kids Voting candidates forum. It's one of the ways students get involved in the organization that encourages civic participation.
