| Abstract | How can teachers get today's students--and tomorrow's voters--really interested in the presidential election? At Moorestown Friends School, a coed Quaker preK-12 day school in Moorestown, New Jersey, the students participate in a simulated presidential selection process that leaves them energized and informed about the candidates and the issues. They emerge from a Mock Election excited about the time when they can cast their ballots "for real" and understand the impact an informed choice can make on the outcome of a race. Students also become more knowledgeable about the specific issues in the actual campaign and are able to articulate not only what they think about a topic, but why. Equally significant is the role-play aspect of the event, which allows students not only to become real-world candidates, but also to adopt roles as issues consultants, publicity coordinators and reporters. Whether teachers decide to run a primary election or simulate the national November election, the same general techniques apply. This article provides some examples of how to get things started.
