Mission Statement

The mission of Kids Voting of Middle Tennessee is to educate students regarding the voting process and increase current and future voter participation. We accomplish this mission by providing a curriculum for students in kindergarten through high school and by sponsoring Kids Voting booths at the regular precincts where students may vote with their parents.
