Presidential Mock Debates and Mock Elections in the LLC

Student Assembly and JSA will be co-sponsoring the Mock Election 2012. In each of the last several presidential elections, students at Staples High School have had the opportunity to vote for the President of the United States in a mock election.  While these votes don’t actually get tallied by the candidates, Staples students do get to experience what voting is really like.

Voting will take place on Thursday, November 1st and Friday, November 2^nd in the LMC. Students will visit the LMC during their social studies classes.  Students not enrolled in a social studies class may vote during their lunch period.  Just like real polling places, students will bring their ID’’s in order to vote and wait in line to have your name crossed off the master list before voting.

We will also feature a student focused election awareness/education activity. JSA is structuring Mock Debates among the candidates as "Lunchertainment" in the LMC on Tuesday, October 30th and Wednesday, October 31^st.
