Wake County 4-H is excited to host two Kids Voting events this fall, giving youth the opportunity to explore how local elections work through hands-on activities, mock elections, and interactive learning stations. Kids Voting NC 4-H is a nonpartisan, youth-led civic education program that helps young people understand elections and build the skills to become informed, engaged citizens.
Through these events, youth can learn about elected offices, research candidates, and even cast ballots on the same races and issues as adults — all in a fun, educational setting.
