On Friday, Feb. 12, York students from all grades participated in a mock election located on the third floor near the South Atrium.
Students who participated in the event were given a ballot similar to that of a real one to simulate the actual process of voting.
Each student received a ballot and was given the choice to either vote Democrat or Republican.
Then, the ballots were carefully divided into their appropriate category.
Once the mock elections finished, the Young Politicians Club counted each ballot to determine a winner.
