Future voters of any age were encouraged to go to the polls with their parent/guardian to cast a “Kids Voting” ballot in a mock election at a Kids Voting booth.
Kids Voting Northern Kentucky is a non-profit, non-partisan, volunteer organization dedicated to teaching young people the importance of, and to help develop the habit of, voting.
Northern Kentucky kids cast more than 1,500 votes this year in precincts throughout Northern Kentucky.
From 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., kids voted at the same precinct locations where adults did throughout Campbell County and at several precincts in Boone County as well as all of the branches of Boone and Kenton County Public Libraries and several local schools.
