Kids Voting Ohio is a Non-Partisan, non-profit organization that serves Ohio schools through voter education and preparedness, promoting civic engagement, and increased family and community communication about citizenship. Kids Voting Ohio is an affiliate of Kids Voting USA.
This year is a presidential election year, and this often brings more interest to participating in Kids Voting. KVO is planning Mock Elections for fall 2024. We will NOT be registering as a district for Kids Voting. It will be up to your individual school to sign up to participate. This is a great way to collaborate with teachers and your students, the chance to put civics into practice during this historic election. This is an OPTIONAL FUN activity for grades K-12. If your school is interested in participating, simply follow this link to register! Scroll to the bottom and click on Sign Up For Mock Election.
