National Student Mock Election 2012-----A Voting Activity of the Social Studies Department

 
 

The My Voice National Student Mock Election is the largest civic engagement project in the United States, and is built on the more than 30 years of work of the National Student/Parent Mock Election.  Founded in 1980, the student mock election has participated in 18 national elections and ranks as the world’s largest national mock election. Over the years, it has helped over 50 million students learn about our nation’s electoral process and the meaning of democracy. The National Student Mock Election makes it possible for students to engage directly in their community by casting a vote in the local and national elections and by taking part in student issue polls.  
This year, voting in the mock election takes place electronically between October 26th and November 1st across the nation. All Social Studies classes at P.J. Gelinas have spent some time in class examining this year's issues and candidates, and all of our classes will take turns voting in the Gelinas Library over the course of several days. Results of the Gelinas mock election and the national mock election will be posted on this blog sometime after the mock polls close on the evening of November 1, so be sure to check back to see our results!
