Kids Weigh In
We asked TFK Kid Reporters to share their Election Day thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Here’s what a few of them had to say.

An election is a chance for people to participate in shaping the future of their community and country. I always find Election Day interesting—one, because I get the day off of school, but more important, because of the energy that makes its way into conversations about how we can make our communities better.
Rudrh Nair, 13, Connecticut
Election Day is a cause for pride and change. It can also stir up nervousness. On the news, we saw a constant surge of voices. People from all around the world watched anxiously, waiting to see the results that would dictate the fate of the country.

Election Day is a very important day for America. On that day, voters choose a president to lead and represent our nation. Even though kids like me are not able to vote, Election Day is important for us too. The results will affect the future for all of us.
