Elvin Hill Elementary
At Elvin Hill Elementary in Columbiana, we have voting tables set up in
The lunchroom.
Each child in the school signs in, votes by ballot, and receives an I
Voted sticker donated by the city. The Gifted Ed class counts the
ballots. The news crew at our school films and conducts daily updates.
The 5th grade Social Studies classes decorate the halls. It is truly a
School-wide event.

One idea I have used in past elections is to provide the students with a blank map of the U.S. with the # of Electoral college votes written in - then the students color in the states the night of the election according to the vote in that state - they choose their own colors. When they bring in the filled-in map the next morning, they get extra credit for it. Just a small activity.

This year, the Student Council will elect its officers at the same time as the mock presidential election. The council felt that, in this way, younger students would grasp and understand the levels of government better.
