The National
Student/Parent
Mock Election is
an exciting way
for students to
become actively
engaged in our
democracy. The
strength of our
democracy is
dependent on the
participation of
its citizens.
When students
examine their
civic
responsibilities
and learn how
these
responsibilities
relate to
voting, they
become engaged
in a process
that is critical
to good
citizenship.
