2000
 This
November 7th, Election Day won't be complete without a vote in your classroom.
You might even choose to have an early election, then vote again in November
and compare the results. What might your students learn about the candidates
to make them change their votes? We've
created a PDF ballot for you to download and use in your classroom. It lists
Democrat, Republican, Reform, Green, Libertarian, Natural Law, Socialist,
and Constitution presidential candidates. There is also room for a write-in
candidate. Below the candidates, students can choose their top three voting
issues, again with room to write in an optional issue. Something you want
to leave off the ballot? Just use a little white-out or cover with a piece
of paper before making copies. The ballots are 2-up on a standard 8.5x11
inch sheet, so you can just cut the finished copies in half. Click
here to the Decision 2000 Presidential Ballot PDF.
