How to talk to kids about Election 2024
What kids want from elected officials
At The Week Junior, we know children care about what’s happening in the world around them. We’re intensely interested in their thoughts, so we work with polling company YouGov to conduct an annual Junior Voices survey. The nationally representative sample of children who respond make it clear they care about current events and are eager to voice their opinions. Find out more about our most recent survey. And read about it at The Week.

What does democracy mean to you?
Elections can help kids understand the concept of a democracy and decide what it means to them. We’ve provided a form they can use to share their ideas, in words and drawings, with us. You can email the form to hello@theweekjunior.com. We will publish some submissions in future issues.
