What is the National Student/Parent Mock Election?

The National Student/Parent Mock Election (NSPME) is a nonpartisan voter education program to make students and parents fully aware of the power of their ballot by actively involving them in a fullfledged campaign and national election. The National Student/ Parent Mock Election is authorized in both No Child Left Behind and the Help America Vote Act.

Since the Mock Election began in 1980, almost 50 million young voters, and often their parents as well, have learned what it means to be an American.

Who participated?

Participants included kindergartners, elementary, secondary school as well as college students in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and in American schools all around the world.
