West Essex High School Holds Mock Election

West Essex High School holds mock election and the results are in.

West Essex High School students voted in a mock election for president. Essex County Clerk Chris Durkin said that "mock elections get students in the habit of voting."

"The more people are engaged, the more successful our democracy will be," Durkin said.
