More than 500 students participated in a presidential mock election

at Heights Elementary School.

Heights students learned about the electoral process,

voters registration, required identification,

candidates’ platform, and important nationwide issues.

The youngsters registered to vote, cast their ballots

on computers set up in the school’s entry,

and received an “I Voted” sticker.

LISD believe mock elections help children develop

an appreciation for civic participation early

and to build the next generation’s understanding

and trust in the voting process.
