About This Lesson
In this lesson, students apply what they have learned about voting procedures and take part in a simulated election in which they role-play poll workers at a polling site. Students become familiar with polling site procedures and the mechanics of voting in their state. The lesson’s election simulation coincides with a general election for a more authentic experience. A supervisor, ideally the registrar of voters, should be in the vicinity of the voting booths to assist students who may have questions about the voting process and mechanisms.
