The following projects allow students to make use of the information they will collect on local political campaigns – the candidates and the issues.

1. Use Data for Community Needs Assessment. Analyze census data to identify demographic trends in the community that could be issues in the campaign and display findings graphically in posters or a PowerPoint presentation.

2. Survey the Community about Public Needs. Conduct a survey on community attitudes, knowledge about the candidates, opinions about issues related to the campaign, or about voting behavior and display findings graphically in posters or in a PowerPoint presentation.

3. Develop Voters Guides about Offices in Upcoming Election. Develop an Information Guide for Voters about offices that are up for election, the responsibilities of those offices, and the candidates on the ballot and produce a brochure or a website displaying the results.

4. Develop Voters Guide on Candidates' Positions on the Issues and display in a brochure or on a website. In campaigns with little information available in the media or on the Internet about the candidates, write to the candidates to request information on their backgrounds and positions.

5. Develop a Multilingual Voters Guide. Translate materials about candidates and issues from English into languages spoken by students and community members.

6. Write letters-to-the-editor or op-eds about candidates, issues and the campaign. Send the letters or op-eds to the school newspaper or to your local newspaper.

7. Create editorial cartoons about the candidates and the campaign and send them to your school or local newspaper.

8. Host a Candidates Forum for your school and/or community for those candidates in your local elections.

9. Hold an in-school Candidates Issues Expo for students who may be able to vote in the election, using posters or PowerPoint presentations to showcase each candidate's qualifications and positions on issues.

10. Create Posters about the candidates and/or election and mount them (with permission) in the school or community.

11. Write "blogs" in which students make observations about the campaign, the candidates and the issues.

12. Mount a "Factcheck.org" website or conduct a series of "Adwatches" for a local campaign in which students check the claims of one ad from each of the candidates.

13. Make a Video about the Campaign, highlighting the important issues, voter attitudes and/or the candidates and their positions on issues.

14. Conduct mock speeches, a mock debate or a mock campaign in your school, with students taking on the roles of candidates and their campaign staff.

15. Hold a mock editorial board meeting, in which some students portray the board while others portray the candidates and their advisors. After listening to each "candidate" present his or her case for election, the editorial board members choose which candidate to endorse and write an editorial.

16. Create a Non-partisan Voters Information Website comparing candidates' positions on issues from the class's Youth Issues Agenda

17. Perform a Skit on the candidates and issues at school or community events

18. Design a Candidate's Website, for a real or fictional candidate, with the aim of conveying important information to voters about the candidate and attracting young voters
