Nickelodeon Empowers Young Voices with Kids Pick the President Poll
In an exciting move to engage the youngest citizens during this election season, Nickelodeon is reviving its beloved "Kids Pick the President" initiative. This year, the network is inviting children to express their opinions and cast their votes for the next president of the United States through the "Kids' Vote" poll, launching today at kidspickthepresident.com. The results of this informal, non-scientific poll will be unveiled in a special half-hour episode on October 28, co-hosted by Nate Burleson and his daughter, Mia.
Nickelodeon has always been dedicated to amplifying the voices of kids, and this year’s poll is no exception. For nearly a decade, "Kids Pick the President" has allowed young viewers to weigh in on political issues that matter to them, fostering a sense of civic engagement from an early age. As families gather around the television, the special will delve into topics that resonate deeply with young voters, including the economy, health care, and the future of technology. It serves as a platform where children can share their personal stories, showcasing the diversity of opinions among the youth.

Nate Burleson, well-known as a co-host on CBS Mornings and a former NFL player, expressed his excitement about hosting the special alongside Mia. He emphasized the importance of teaching children that their voices matter and that they should be encouraged to get involved in the issues they care about. Burleson stated, “This opportunity has opened up our whole family to conversations about the importance of standing up for what we believe in and the power of democracy.” He aims to inspire families everywhere to engage in meaningful discussions about civic participation.
In addition to the voting poll, Nickelodeon is committed to providing parents with resources that encourage conversations about media literacy. Partnering with the National Association of Media Literacy Educators, Nickelodeon will offer guides to help families navigate the complexities of the electoral process and the importance of informed voting. After casting their votes, kids can download an “I Voted” badge, reinforcing their participation in this democratic exercise.
Jean Margaret Smith, Nickelodeon’s Senior Vice President of Public Affairs, highlighted the initiative's goal: “We believe kids of all ages deserve to be seen and heard.” By featuring personal narratives from families across the nation, Nickelodeon aims to empower children to champion causes that resonate with them, fostering a sense of responsibility and advocacy within their communities.
As part of its broader mission through the "Our World" initiative, Nickelodeon continues to inspire children by providing them with the tools and encouragement needed to make a difference. This year's "Kids Pick the President" is just one of many ways the network strives to galvanize the next generation to become active participants in shaping their world. Whether through educational programming or hands-on initiatives, Nickelodeon has established itself as a trusted ally for children, showing them that they can be agents of change in their own lives and beyond.
As we gear up for the upcoming election, it’s heartening to see a major entertainment brand like Nickelodeon taking steps to ensure that kids not only feel heard but also understand the significance of their involvement in the democratic process. Let’s celebrate this initiative, as it underscores the vital role that young voices play in our society, paving the way for a more engaged and informed future generation.
