History and Education

Page Content
Thank you for visiting the Education and History section of the Voter Registration and Elections site. We hope that by including some activities for children, we can increase awareness of the importance of Voting and the role that government plays in our lives.
 
The Voter Registrar's Office has also compiled a list of links that relate to Elections and Voting Information including Voter Registration, the Electoral College, why elections are held in November and the Federal Election Commission. In addition, find links to United States Presidents, the White House, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, United States Supreme Court, Federal Agencies, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. These links and other fun informative facts can be found under the Kids & Parents Corner tab on the left side your screen.
 
Check out Lesson Plan suggestions, parent guides, biographies, activities and games that are of use in the classroom and at home. We hope teachers and parents will find these links helpful and convenient.
 
The views, information and products available on these sites have received no endorsement from the Office of the Voter Registrar.
