America’s Mock Election Information Sheet

 

• What is America’s Mock Election?

America’s Mock Election is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that produces an Election Night type of program, as a form of educational programming (not as “official results”) for civics programs meant for middle- and high-school level youth.  The process is simple, America’s Mock Election, along with our educational partners, work within school systems, provide easy-to-use curriculum for teachers and parents, urging students to learn about national, state, and local candidates for elections, and then “vote”…all with the goal of sending them out into the world equipped to formulate and make decisions about voting and participating in the process into adulthood.

Through American Civic Education Initiative, we plan to place the ACE App and ACE kiosks in the hands of students, where they are, to continue the efforts we begin in the classrooms.  This interactive, educational tool allows us to drill down much deeper into politics history, offer fun quizzes and games within the app, offer scholarships to promote the app, and give time-stressed teachers an additional tool for teaching and promoting political involvement in the schools.

As a 501(c)(3), America’s Mock Election is funded through donations and sponsorships.  Please consider donating today:
