The Experience

Using experiential learning to engage and inform, one of the AEC's electoral experts will guide your school group through a 90-minute program. Students will:

• explore the history of democracy and voting in Australia
• meet DemocraBot and be immersed in DemocraCity, our brand new interactive virtual world, to learn about representation, enrolment, and voting
• experience the electoral process in action by running their own election in a dedicated polling place. Students will vote, count the votes, and declare the election result, while taking on the roles of voters, ballot box guards, scrutineers and polling officials!

The NEEC offers education programs for primary, secondary and adult groups, and all of our programs are aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Highly skilled Electoral Educators deliver all of our sessions and will tailor your session content to your school.
