Exercising your right to vote is incredibly important, especially during a presidential election year. Even if kids aren’t old enough to vote yet, it never hurts to inform them about the process.
Nickelodeon is airing a Nick News: Kids Pick the President special next week, hosted by Keke Palmer. The hour-long special will teach kids the basics of voting and give kids a platform to discuss the issues they care about most as they relate to the 2020 presidential election, such as COVID-19, racial equality, and the environment. There will be appearances by a child, adolescent, and family psychologist and youth activists.
Kids can visit kidspickthepresident.com to make their voices heard by casting their vote for Joseph Biden or Donald Trump to be the next U.S. president in a “Kids’ Vote” poll. They can also download an “I Voted” sticker/badge to show off their participation.

“Voting in my first election when I was 18 was extremely important to me and now more than ever, it’s crucial that this next generation of kids grow up with an understanding of our political system and how they can be agents of change,” said Palmer in a press release. “I’m so proud to be a part of the Nickelodeon family and this special, which will teach kids about the election and empower them to stand up for what they believe in.”
Nick News: Kids Pick the President will air across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, and Nicktoons on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT). It will later be available on Nickelodeon YouTube, Nick On Demand, the Nick App, and the Nick Pluto TV channel.
