 Kids Voting USA:

Kids Voting USA® is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization working with schools and communities to enhance civics education and provide youth a voting experience at official polls on election day.

 How it Began:

In 1988, three businessmen from Arizona traveled to Costa Rica on a fishing trip and caught much more than fish! These three founders of Kids Voting USA® learned that voter turnout is about 80 percent in Costa Rica. Why? How? Voting is mandated by law in Costa Rica, however, this is not enforced. Instead, Costa Ricans attribute this high voter turnout to their tradition of children accompanying mom and dad to the polls. Youths learn early the importance of voting in a democracy. As a result, Costa Ricans believe their form of government is well preserved for the future.

Kids Voting USA®:

Today, Kids Voting USA® is the only program of its kind that enables students to visit official polling sites on election day, accompanied by parent or guardian, to cast a ballot similar in content to the official ballot. Kids Voting USA® teaches youth -- through a special curriculum, family participation and community involvement -- the importance of being informed and the responsibilities of voting.

Kids Voting USA® Scope:

The Kids Voting USA® Network of state organizations is growing fast, presently reaching 5 million students, 200,000 teachers, 6,000 schools, 80,000 volunteers and 20,000 voter precincts.

Summary:

Mission... Kids Voting USA® is securing the future of democracy by educating and involving youth in the election process today.

It’s Unique:

No other program offers the comprehensive Kids Voting USA Curriculum © invites students into the official polling sites on election day and gives students the opportunity to experience voting just as adults do.

Community, School & Family:

Kids Voting USA® is a program that elicits the best from the community, the classroom and the household to deliver a valuable experience to youth and family that strengthens democracy now and for the future.
