In a recent mock election at Glen Oaks High School, George Washington got the most “votes” for president, and the Constitutional Convention passed unanimously. The election was part of the voter registration campaign to give seniors hands-on experience with the voting process. Students experienced a full mock election, including voter registration, signing in, and casting votes using an actual voting machine. This election not only helped educate students on the voting process, but also helped to encourage the importance of civic engagement. Thirty students cast votes. George Washington garnered 16 votes, followed by Thomas Jefferson (9), John Adams (3), and James Madison (2). EBR SCHOOLS HOST MOCK ELECTION TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE VOTING PROCESS
