Today, each Schenectady High School senior participated in a lesson on civic engagement. They watched campaign speeches from their peers, filled out a real ballot from the Schenectady County Board of Elections, and placed it in a real ballot counter. Students then had the option to register or pre-register to vote with help from the NAACP Schenectady Branch 2175.
