Run a mock election at your school

How it works

1. Make an election. Sign in, pick your state’s ballot or build your own races, set the close time.
2. Hand out the election number. One number for an open election; a printed ticket per voter for a secure one.
3. Pull the lever. Students type the number, mark the ballot, pull. The count is on the board when you close the polls.

What is already on the machine

• All 50 statewide ballots for November 3, 2026, with today’s vote counted every day from October 9.
• Senate Watch: the five closest races, updated nightly.
• The Halloween Candy Election: sixteen candies, two parties, a winner by Halloween — a practice election every class can vote in.
• Fourteen lessons on the history of the vote, from Athens to today, each with a ballot inside it.

Official Mock Election Day — Monday, November 2

Every class votes the real ballot on the same day. Secure tickets make the count one you can stand behind; sealed results open when you close the polls; the “I Voted” card goes home with the voter.

Built so you never have to ask

• No student accounts. A voter gives the site nothing — not a name, not an email.
• Nonpartisan by design: the ballot as the state prints it, nothing added.
• Every daily count is marked “One vote per device. The official count is November 2.”
• Works on Chromebooks, phones and the one shared laptop at the back of the room.
