Sample Activities:

 

·        Because voting is an important act that not all eligible citizens participate in, students make fliers and posters to encourage people to get out and vote. They make special hats or badges to wear as election volunteers. If your school is open on Election Day, arrange a class trip to the polling place. Also, a visit to the classroom by a polling place official would be useful and easy to arrange.
