Elections staff visit 28 schools across Duval County through March 20.
The program also includes an opportunity for schools to win the Freedom Award Trophy and the title of the “Most Civic-Minded High School in Duval County.”
Florida residents can preregister to vote if they are at least 16 and meet all other eligibility requirements. That preregistration becomes an active registration when the person turns 18.
