VIEW KIDS VOTING COMMUNITY SITES
* VOTING AT SCHOOL
Many schools will coordinate a Kids Voting Election for their students in
late October through Election Day. Want to know how your school is
participating? Contact your
School Representative or
Kids Voting to learn more.
* COMMUNITY SERVICE-LEARNING Great learning opportunity for
students (and adults!) Learn about elections and voting behind the scenes by
managing and
volunteering at Kids Voting booths.
Locations for community Kids Voting sites
When Kids Voting sites are located within libraries or adult voting
precincts, those sites are selected by the Board of Elections. Because of
NC election law, Kids Voting is allowed to be in the same area as adult voting,
space permitting. Why are there more polling places in some parts of the
community than others? Because that is how political districts/precincts, are
drawn by the Board of Elections based on where more people live.

Additionally, some schools host voting for their students between October 24
and November 8. Contact your School
Representative or Kids Voting to
learn more. Students may also vote online at
home or after school.
