Voting (For Kids)
The grown-ups in your life vote. What does that mean?
You're learning why voting matters before you're old enough.
For the Children ages 6 to 12 who are aware that voting happens but don't yet understand what it does — why the adults in their lives go to a place and make a mark and why it matters. Also for caregivers and educators who want to build the civic identity that makes voting feel meaningful before children are old enough to vote.
The Name It First Experience
You've heard about voting. Maybe someone in your family talked about it. Maybe there's an election coming. But what does it do? In Voting (For Kids), you follow the path of a single vote — from the decision to cast it, to the ballot, to the outcome, and to what the outcome means for the people who live in the community. Each path leads somewhere different. This is a story for children who are learning that democracy is not an idea — it is a system that people participate in or don't, and that the participation is the thing that makes it work. The output is your Voting (For Kids) Agreement — what you learned about how voting works and what you're going to do with that when you're old enough.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you think happens to a vote after someone puts it in the ballot box — where does it go?
- Why do you think some people choose to vote and some people choose not to — and which one matters more?
- What would YOU do when you are old enough to vote — and why?
