Welcome to Learning About Voting!

Hello boys and girls! Have you ever heard about voting? Voting is when people make an important choice together.

What is Voting?

Imagine if your family couldn’t decide what to have for dinner. What could you do? You could take a vote to choose what to eat!

Or think about your basketball team needing a new captain. How would you decide? You could take a vote!

Why is Voting Important?

Voting is very important for grown-ups too. When people turn 18, they can vote to choose new leaders for their community. These leaders could be the mayor of a city, the governor of a state, or even the President of the United States!

What Happens on Election Day?

On election day, citizens go to a special place like a library or a school gym to vote. Inside, there are voting booths that help keep everyone’s vote private. Voters make their choices on a piece of paper called a ballot and put it in a ballot box. Some places use special computers instead of ballot boxes.

After all the votes are counted, a new leader is chosen!

  • Can you think of a time when you had to make a choice with your friends or family? How did you decide what to do?
  • Why do you think it’s important for everyone to have a chance to vote when making a big decision? How would it feel if only one person got to decide everything?
  • If you could vote on something fun for your class to do, what would you choose and why?
  1. Family Voting Activity: Gather your family and decide on something fun to vote on, like what movie to watch or what game to play. Create a simple ballot with the options and let everyone cast their vote. Count the votes together and see which option wins. Discuss how it felt to make a decision as a group and why voting was helpful.

  2. Classroom Election: In your classroom, hold an election to choose a class helper for the week. Each student can nominate themselves or a friend. Create a ballot with the names of the candidates and set up a voting booth. After everyone has voted, count the votes together and announce the winner. Talk about how it felt to participate in the election and why it’s important to have a fair process.

  3. Observation Journal: Over the next week, keep a journal of any decisions made by voting at home or in school. Write down what was being decided, who voted, and what the outcome was. At the end of the week, share your observations with a family member or friend. Discuss how voting helped in making decisions and if there were any surprises in the outcomes.
