consist of—
school forums and local cable call-in shows on the national issues to be voted upon in an “issues forum”;
speeches and debates before students and parents by local candidates or stand-ins for such candidates;
quiz team competitions, mock press conferences, and speech writing competitions;
weekly meetings to follow the course of the campaign; or
school and neighborhood campaigns to increase voter turnout, including newsletters, posters, telephone chains, and transportation.
The National Student and Parent Mock Election shall present awards to outstanding student and parent mock election projects.
