Wiscasset High School Student Council's 2012 mock election drew 90 students to the polls October 30.

The Town of Wiscasset allowed the Student Council to use the town voting booths, which were set up in Room 2 at WHS during lunch.

Kids were involved on every level on the mock election, with each grade level preparing and explaining various issues, races and candidates to the school.

Principal Deb Taylor, Vice Principal Sue Poppish and Student Council Adviser Deb Pooler met with each class from freshmen to seniors provide unbiased information on the State ballot and Town of Wiscasset Ballot issues.

All results have been submitted to the Office of the Secretary of State Special Projects Director Nicole Ladner who will tally statewide mock presidential votes this year. The results will be made available to all schools that participated.

The mock vote results often represent what will happen at the real polls on Election Day. This year's mock presidential election presented a great opportunity for students, teachers and the Town of Wiscasset to work together to educate students about the important American right to vote process.
