Illinois Student Vote, sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Illinois Education Fund and working in cooperation with the National Student/Parent Mock Election, offers teachers and students the opportunity to participate fully in the electoral process.

Participating schools and classes will undertake activities to study the candidates and issues important in the election.

Participants will be able to make informed decisions as they vote for candidates in a simulated election.
