Every Great Citizen Starts as a Student.
Kids Voting Oklahoma is preparing Oklahoma's next generation of informed citizens by introducing civic education long before students are old enough to vote.
Why Kids Voting Oklahoma?
Civic participation doesn't start at eighteen; it begins with curiosity and understanding. By bringing the democratic process into the classroom, we bridge the gap between abstract concepts and real-world impact.
Our non-partisan approach ensures that every student, regardless of background, feels empowered to research, discuss, and decide on the issues that affect their community.
Research shows that students who participate in mock elections and civic discussions are significantly more likely to become regular voters and active community leaders.

Why It Matters
A healthy democracy requires active, informed participation. By investing in civic education now, we are ensuring the stability and growth of Oklahoma's future for generations to come.
Students who are taught to civilly discuss opposing views become adults who can collaborate and solve the complex challenges facing our state and nation.
When young people see that their voice has a place in the democratic process, they become invested in the success of their neighbors and their hometowns.
Beginning in Bartlesville. Built for Oklahoma.
Our pilot program in Bartlesville provided the blueprint for scalable civic education. Now, we are working to bring these resources to every school district across the state.
