On June 3, 2020, First Vote NC hosted a webinar to provide information about the program and election simulation platform. First Vote NC is an initiative of EducationNC and aims to improve youth voter turnout by demystifying the voting process and making voting a habit before students graduate from high school.
Below is a video of the webinar along with links to resources mentioned in the recording.
While the platform is designed with the educator in mind, our ultimate audience is high school students — North Carolina’s future voters. Our multi-layered approach includes an authentic simulation election, issue-based questions, demographic data collection for post-election analysis, and a lesson portfolio. With the 2020 election less than five months away, we want to provide educators with this free election simulation package.
