We created the ballots below to allow you to explore the federal — and gubernatorial (if applicable) — offices in your state and familiarize your students with the candidates. Since these ballots list all of the races for U.S. House of Representatives within each state, we encourage you to use this handy tool to find the U.S. Congressional District your classroom will be voting in this year: http://my2012district.com/.

We encourage you to include the 2012 Issues Ballot as part of the mock election. By surveying students on key matters of national concern and reporting the results, we hope to help you cultivate critical thinking and focused debate in and outside the classroom.

Get started now. Select your ballot from the list below (in alpha order by state) to view and/or print.
