Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate says the Iowa Youth Straw Poll held Monday, was a resounding success with more than 57,000 students from more than 250 schools across the state participating. Most of the schools cast their ballots on November 1st. Pate said “I think it was a great opportunity for them to see first-hand how the process works. It also gives them a running start for the next election cycle and also receive a little tutoring at the same time, so they’ll have a good base of knowledge for Iowa’s elections process. I hope this fired them up and will also spur them to encourage their parents, neighbors and friends to get out and vote.”
