2012 Mock Election

Presented by Gifted Education Students

   

     Challenge students have been learning about six different political parties, and they created fictional candidates to run for office in 2012.  Because we are learning about a variety of parties, the candidates did not get to choose their own parties.  For this reason, the views of each candidate may not represent their personal views.

The Votes are In!

The GREEN Party wins!  Congratulations to Alana Kennedy and her party. After tallying the votes, the green party won the majority of the popular votes as well as the electoral votes.  You can view our results below.

As you can see, it was a close race!  I'm proud of all of ALL the committees for showing that it is possible to campaign in a positive manner.  Thanks for sticking to the issues!

Students waited in line to turn in their voter registration cards and sign in.

After students received their ballots, they went to booths to vote.

Then voters placed their ballots in the ballot box.

Students were excited to have the opportunity to vote!
