Cannon County High School conducted a Student Mock Election on Tuesday, October 26th, 2010. Students in Mr. William F. Curtis’s U.S. Government classes conducted the election.

U.S. Government First Period Students distributed the ballots to all classes, Second Period students collected the ballots and began tabulating the results, Seventh Period students continued the tabulation, and Eighth Period AP Students analyzed and published the results.

This Mock Election is in association with the National Student/Parent Mock Election (NSPME), a national voter-education program for students and their parents that give young Americans the chance to make their voices heard in the electoral process.

“In the classrooms of today are our future Presidents, members of Congress, governors and judges – but most importantly, these young people are the voters of tomorrow,” said NSPME President Gloria Kirshner. “Whether we are sending these children to the White House or to the polls, we hope to give them a deep understanding of ‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ ”

600 Total Students voted in the Mock Election and their results are as follows:
