Thanks to Ms. Diaz and her 8th grade social studies students, MJHS hosted a mock election for all students. 8th graders in each social studies class were the election workers and also tallied the results. Our votes were included in the overall State of Maine results for all schools participating in mock elections. We'd also like to thank the Town of Lincoln and Ann Morrison for allowing us to use their voting booths, stickers, and ballot box to help our students practice and learn the voting procedures.
Results of the mock election are as follows:
Representative to Congress: MJHS- Austin Theriault won 142 votes to Jared Golden's 93 votes State of Maine- Golden won with 49.3% and Theriault received 48.8%
