Kids Voting Missouri is Going Green
For Election 2010, Kids Voting Missouri will join other Kids Voting affiliaties to "experiment" with Kids Voting USA's new on-line voter program called "Doubleclick Democracy."
Developed by Kids Voting Tampa Bay, this new on-line feature allows 4-12th grade students to vote for the same candidates and issues as the adult voters with the simple "click" of a mouse. K-3 students will have their very own "special" Doubleclick Democracy Kids Voting ballot tied to the GLE's.
Students will still learn about the candidates and issues on the ballot and will still practice voter registration but instead of a paper ballot, they will use an e-ballot to cast their votes!
All Kids Voting Missouri ballot results will be electronically tabulated and will be available when the real polls close on November 2nd.
