Read Story - FeaturesWith each election season comes a group of people who will be participating for the first time. Whether they simply haven’t participated before or they were previously ineligible, many first time voters find themselves in need of some direction before the first time they go to vote. Like most new experiences, voting for the first time may be something that high school students need guidance through. Students often rely on the internet, but they can also rely on the teachers and other adults that work within schools to assist them and provide them with resources and advice in order to help them navigate through these new experiences.
