National Student/Parent
Mock Election
The National
Student/Parent Mock Election program seeks to turn the sense
of powerlessness that keeps young Americans and their parents from
voting into a sense of the power of participation in our democracy.
One of the most important ways to increase students' sense of significance
- and power - is to use the Mock Election to give them an introduction
to the real process.
Oregon Student Mock
Election
Oregon Student Mock
Election (OSME) is a statewide program directly affiliated with
the national organization. In Oregon, the Mock Election will be
carried out in hundreds of public, private and home schools around
the state. We will be voting on the candidates for President, US Senators, Representatives
in Congress, and Oregon statewide offices, as well as selected Oregon
ballot measures and national issues. We will join thousands of students
around the country who will place their votes by the end of October 2008. On
Oregon Mock Election Day, October 30, Oregon’s
results will be announced at the OSME Final Event.
