HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 3, 2024 -- 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.
