The National Student/Parent Mock Election (to be held on October 30, 2008) makes students and parents aware of the power of their ballot by actively involving them in a full-fledged campaign and national election.  In the last presidential election year, over 4 million students, parents and teachers participated in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and 14 countries/territories around the world where Americans have schools.  The site includes supporting teacher resources, which are helpful but are not required to be used to participate in the mock election.
