Kids Voting is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to improving citizen involvement in democracy by preparing current and future generations of citizens  to participate in government.

We begin with teachers incorporating the highly acclaimed, hands-on Kids Voting USA Curriculum© into their classroom instruction in kindergarten through twelfth grade.  This curriculum is provded to the schools free of charge.  Then on Election Day students go to official polling sites and cast their votes for the same candidates and issues as adults.

Over 35,000 students in Bibb County's public and private schools participate in Kids Voting activities each year and have ever since Kids Voting Georgia began in 1992.    On Election Day, hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers from all over Bibb County public and private sectors work together to ensure that students have an opportunity to cast their ballots.

Is It Working?

Across the United States communities with Kids Voting have seen a 7-10% increase in voter turnout.

In 1999, a survey conducted by the Sociology Department at Mercer University determined that students who participate in Kids Voting activities in school are 12 - 19% more likely to register and vote when they reach 18 than those students who did not attend schools which had Kids Voting.
