Instead of choosing political candidates, children will fill out a fun ballot with questions like their favorite color and favorite school subject.
Kenya Ponder Williams, the Gadsden County Supervisor of Elections, said the goal is to build voting habits before the teenage years.
"One of the things I'm passionate about is starting kids to be involved in the voting process at an early age.
Those basic elementary years are the best time to introduce them to the voting process; that way, by the time they are teenagers, they are use to it, it is already a norm for them."
