We have learned that some schools may be using computers with older versions of browsers which are incompatible with our website. We encourage the use of Firefox, but other updated browsers are acceptable — Safari, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer 7 or 8. This is especially important when students attempt to vote online. We want this to be a technically trouble-free experience for them!
More ideas for a successful school-wide voting program
Your school’s student council may also participate in promoting Kids Voting through rallies or posters and manning on-campus voting sites before and after school or during recesses. School Rally Ideas can help in planning and presenting Kids Voting rallies at your school. Parents and others can support Kids Voting by discussing with children about Kids Voting, ensuring that the children are registered and that they vote on-line. To learn how Kids Voting is being implemented, contact teacher(s) if needed and find out if you can provide assistance at the school. Parents of home-schooled students may contact their local public library for information on registration and voting.

Help will be available through our all-volunteer helpers at the school, complex, and district levels of the DOE, for private schools via HAIS, and for home schoolers via the homeschool section on this website. Go to the Contact Us page for any inquiries.
Educators statewide can support Kids Voting by ensuring that the program is being implemented in their schools. Each public school should have a School Level Ambassador to provide information to teachers about Kids Voting Hawaii. DOE Teachers may volunteer as School Level Ambassadors (SLA) by informing their Principals. Private school teachers will also receive information through their Principals.
