Kids Voting Minneapolis is a great program that I’ve just finished up some pro bono web design work for. They encourage kids to go to the polls on election day with their parents, and the kids get to vote on their own specially-prepared and official-looking ballot. The idea is to get kids into the habit of voting from any early age — and get them to nag their parents to vote. Brilliant! Take a look at their new web site.
