Public Officials - Putting it All Together. The Bill of Rights Hand Game: US History Review. How the Electoral College Works. Ballotpedia. ELECTION EXTRAVAGANZA. Election day. Election day was a lot of fun today. We read Duck for President to learn about the voting process.

We voted on our favorite way to eat corn. Everyone got a chance to go to the ballot box and cast their vote. Then we counted the votes and announced our winner . . . caramel corn! Mini campaign posters Here is our booth and ballot box. They used dot markers to cast their vote. CANDY BAR ELECTIONS.
