Mock Elections at Area High Schools
For the third election year, Engaging a New Generation of Voters: Mock Elections for High School Students, was held in four area public high schools in Cuyahoga County. Schools participating included Maple Heights, Garfield Heights, Rocky River, and Cleveland Heights.
The three day program in each school included voter registration and precinct assignments, a published Voters Guide, and a Candidate Forum Assembly with actual candidates appearing to answer student questions. The program culminated with a ballot election overseen and verified by Board of Elections staff. The 2010 Mock Election focused on candidates for Cuyahoga County offices.
Since 2008, the High School Mock Election project has reached approximately 2700 soon-to-be voters and involved an additional 1400 students in 2010.
