High School Student Election Program
For 20 years, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Office has offered qualified high school students the opportunity to learn about and participate in our democratic process by serving as an Election Officer. While students may learn about democracy secondhand from a book or in a classroom, the opportunity to serve as a Student Election Officer on Election Day is an invaluable, real-life experience that will bring awareness to young Americans regarding the importance of voting as well as to help lay the groundwork for a lifetime of civic involvement and responsibility.
High School Students can volunteer as a member of the Student Election Program to assist in a Vote Center if they meet the following qualifications:
- U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident
- At least 16 years old on Election Day
- G.P.A of 2.5 or higher
- Written permission from parent/guardian
- Written permission from school Principal/Coordinator
- Complete training and work in a Vote Center
