As millions of Americans head to the polls on Super Tuesday, more than 3,000 Chicagoland middle and high school students will cast their votes from their classrooms, in the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum’s Illinois Primary simulation. Throughout the day, you can find out how students are voting by checking live election results from the Freedom Museum’s Student Vote Project Web site: www.freedommuseum.us/students/student_vote_2008.htm.
Although, these votes won’t count in the tomorrow’s election, this project allows young people to learn about the election process and, ideally, begin a lifelong tradition of civic engagement.
