This activity is designed for a social studies, politics, civics or citizenship class. It can be used in secondary and elementary classrooms. Here is an overview of the simulation:
Students take part in a quick open-voting process to understand why a secret ballot is important. Then they take on the roles of political party members or election officers. They run an election on a community or school issue they care about. Students vote for a candidate, ballots are counted and a winner is announced. Finally, students reflect on what they learned about their role in the simulation and what makes elections fair. This simulation is based on the procedures used for Canadian federal elections. The tools and information in the kit are as authentic as possible while still being classroom-friendly.
