It is the only civics program that brings students into official polling sites on election day. Wake County's award-winning program reaches out to over 125,000 students.

Kids Voting is Unique

Kids Voting USA is the only organization that virtually replicates the voting process by taking students into official voting precincts on Election Day. Kindergarten through high school students register to vote and participate in a fun classroom curriculum about the election process. On Election Day, students go to the polls with adults and cast their ballots in local, state, and national elections. Results are tallied and reported to schools and the news media.
