Register for the 2021 Oregon Kid Governor Election 

Congratulations Karen Olsen from McCornack Elementary for being the first teacher to register for Oregon Kid Governor 2021; and thanks also to all of the schools that have already signed up!

Although you can’t be the first class, there is still plenty of time left to register for the 2021, Oregon Kid Governor Election! The deadline for nominating a candidate and submitting their campaign video is 11:59 p.m., October 22, 2020. If your 5th grade class only wants to vote in the Kid Governor election, you have until 11:59 p.m., November 1, 2020 to register.

All the information you need is right here http://or.kidgovernor.org/ on Oregon’s Kid Governor website. We have updated the lessons so that they can be taught virtually and that link will be shared with you once you register.
