Tomorrow is Independence Day, which makes us think . . . what's more American than voting? Back on Election Day, we took a trip down memory lane to the first elections many of us got to participate in: class elections. From elementary school to college, these early elections were an opportunity to practice being members of a democracy.
Join us for this encore episode of Central Standard.

- Sylvia Maria Gross, senior producer, KCUR
- Stu Shafer, ran for president in high school, early 1970s
- Julie Connor, president in college, 1978
