Several Eisenhower High School students took a greater interest in the election process. Three campus seniors worked the polls on Election Day.

On November 4, Jazmyn Smith and Jakelin Faustino Flores assisted with voting taking place at the school. They assisted the election judges in getting people signed in to vote. Meanwhile student Raabia Badat assisted election judges at Shotwell Middle School.

Earlier this school year, Aldine ISD organized and [icons icon_name=”icon-external-link” icon_size=”14px”]sponsored a student voter registration drive. The district partnered with several local agencies to talk to students about the importance of voting. Representatives from the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), Mi Familia Vota, and the Harris County Clerk’s Office talked to students.

The events at high school campuses made it easy for eligible students to register to vote for the general election. The main message of the voter registration drives was simple: Go out and vote. But students also heard how they could work the polls on Election Day.
