How to Register your Class
Follow the steps below to enroll your class to participate and to access the voting ballots for your students. You can find your congressional district by accessing House.gov. Student ballots will have candidates for President of the United States, Senate, and the House of Representatives.
- The 2024 Mock Election process has been simplified for teachers from prior years (no login or password required). In order to create ballot codes for your students to vote, teachers need to use the new Teacher Portal. You will put in your name, email address, and school for approval. Approval will typically take a day.
- Once you are approved, you will receive an email from the New Jersey Mock Election Team with a link. Clicking on the link will open a form for you to generate voting codes for your students. You’ll select the grade and the number of codes to generate.
- Submitting the form will redirect the webpage displaying a table of the voting codes you just generated.
- It will list all your generated codes and their associated grade.
- Copy and paste the list of codes into another program such as Excel, Google Sheets, Word, etc.
- If you teach multiple grades, you can submit the form multiple times.
- Those interested in using a mail merge to send out the codes via email can find more information under our Teacher Resources.
- Students can go to the Voting Portal to access their ballot. They will require one of the codes generated by the teacher in order to vote. Students may vote up until the end of the school day on November 5, 2024. Each code can only be used once.
- The ballot question is optional for those teachers who want to familiarize their students with the idea that they will often see issue questions on adult ballots.
- The 2024 Mock Election will be open from October 21-November 5.
