Y&G has a great opportunity for Delgates!

When I received the email from Scott Caulsey (Y&G Program Assistant), I was beyond excited for this unique opportunity for our Delegates.



"We have been asked by Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Superintendent of Public Instructions Jack O’Connell (Two of Y&G’s biggest supporters), to let your delegates know about the initiative, the MyVote California Student Mock Election.
The MyVote California Student Mock Election gives students a chance to make their voices heard on the candidates and issues that affect them and their families, while an exciting election season is in full-swing. Once the votes are counted, students can compare their choices to those of their peers around the state, and then to the decisions made by adult voters in the statewide election held only a few days later.
The 2010 Student Mock Election will be held on Tuesday, October 26, 2010. High school and middle school students will have their say on who they think should be our next Governor and U.S. Senator, and on the ballot measures that will come before California voters in the November 2, 2010, General Election
To participate, delegates will need to register their school for the MYVote California Student Mock Election. We would like as many of your delegates to register their schools for this great opportunity.
School registration for the MyVote California Student Mock Election is at
www.sos.ca.gov/elections/studentmockelection.htm. There, they will also find a
Student Mock Election fact sheet, and all the tools and resources a school
needs to run a successful mock election."
