Information for School Coordinators

Each school or district has a Mock Election Coordinator who has enrolled in the program by returning an enrollment form or by enrolling online. It is important for the coordinator to enter on the enrollment form the Congressional District where the school building is located. Scroll to the bottom of this page for information about locating your school's Congressional District.

There may be a coordinator for each school in the district or one district-wide coordinator for all schools. All school children, from kindergarten through 12th grade, are encouraged to participate in the Mock Election.

Return the Mock Election enrollment form to: N.J. Mock Election Coordinator, New Jersey Press Foundation, Suite 305, 840 Bear Tavern Road, West Trenton, NJ 08628-1019. If the school participates in a Newspaper in Education program operated by New Jersey newspapers, the enrollment form may be returned to that newspaper.

There is no deadline to return the enrollment form. However, we urge the school's Mock Election Coordinator to return the form by September 30 in order to assure they will receive instructions and ballots well before the Mock Election.

The New Jersey Press Foundation will send information on the school's enrollment form to School Perceptions, which is serving along with Google to tabulate and report the results of the National Student/Parent Mock Election.

Each school's Mock Election Coordinator then will be contacted via E-mail by School Perceptions, which will assign an ID and password to use to report the results of the Mock Election on October 30.

The school Mock Election Coordinator will be sent the Mock Election Ballot in October and will print and distribute the ballot to teachers.

The school coordinator then will tabulate the school's Mock Election results and send them online to School Perceptions  by 3 p.m., October 30.
