Kids Voting Rochester is back for this important presidential election on November 4, 2008. Students learn about democracy through a combination of classroom activities, family dialogue, and an authentic voting experience on Election Day. In addition to valuable civics lessons about voting and elections, students also explore the right to vote, democracy, and active citizenship. In our inaugural year, 3800 students voted. This year we know that number can be doubled or tripled.
