HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Nickelodeon is letting kids' voices be heard
this election season with the return of its Kids Pick the
President "Kids' Vote" poll and a brand-new special debuting
Monday, Oct. 28. Beginning today,
kids can cast their vote for who they want to be the next president
at kidspickthepresident.com. The results of the poll will be
revealed during the half-hour special, hosted by Nate Burleson (CBS Mornings, NFL
Slimetime, The NFL Today) and his 14-year-old daughter,
Mia Burleson (NFL Slimetime).
The Kids Pick the President "Kids' Vote" is an informal
non-scientific poll, meant for entertainment purposes only.
The Kids Pick the President special will premiere
Monday, Oct. 28, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), on Nickelodeon and be available
day and date on Paramount+, Nickelodeon YouTube, Nick.com and the
Nickelodeon Pluto TV channels (Nick
Pluto, 90's Kids TV, Totally Teen). The special will also be
available the following day on Nick On Demand.
"The opportunity to host the Kids Pick the President
special, alongside my daughter Mia, has opened up our whole family
to conversations about the importance of standing up for what we
believe in and the power of democracy," said Nate Burleson. "As parents of three, it has
always been a priority for me and my wife Atoya to teach our kids
that their voices matter--that they not only need to get involved,
but stay involved with the issues and topics they care about."
"We believe kids of all ages deserve to be seen and heard, and
we're proud of the role that our Kids Pick the President
initiative has played in elevating their voices around important
issues in their lives for the last nine election cycles," said
Jean Margaret Smith, Senior Vice
President, Nickelodeon Public Affairs. "Through the personal
stories of the families featured in the Kids Pick the
President special, we hope to empower kids to champion the
causes they care about, and inspire them to impact change in their
communities and beyond."
After kids cast their vote for who they want to be the next
President of the United States at
kidspickthepresident.com, they can download an "I Voted" badge, and
learn more about the candidates and electoral process. To further
support family conversations in the home, Nickelodeon has partnered
with NAMLE (The National Association of Media Literacy Educators)
on a guide to provide information and resources for parents around
media literacy that will also be available on the site.
Told from a uniquely kid-led POV, the half-hour Kids Pick the
President special will platform the issues young people care
about most in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Kids from all
sides of the political spectrum will share their personal stories
and opinions on topics, including the economy, future of AI and
technology, and health.
