Over the past two weeks, almost 10,000 students across the state of Kentucky cast over 55,000 votes in the nation's largest online, student-only mock election. Votes were cast in the 2007 Kentucky Student Mock Election using electronic ballots specifically tailored to the 2007 Kentucky races. The student ballot included races for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Auditor of Public Accounts, State Treasurer, and Commissioner of Agriculture. "Mock elections foster a voter habit that young people can carry well into their adult lives," said Secretary of State Trey Grayson who chairs the Kentucky Workgroup on Civic Literacy. "Encouraging active civic engagement among our young people is ultimately beneficial for the entire Commonwealth." The partnership between the Youth Leadership Initiative and the Kentucky Secretary of State's Office allowed Kentucky students a four-day voting period as well as additional resources to be used in conjunction with the mock election.

The results of the election were surprising when compared with the actual election results. Republicans took most of the votes for Kentucky students. Contrary to how the election actually turned out, students voted 53% to 45% to reelect Governor Ernie Fletcher, along with Lieutenant Governor Robbie Rudolph. Trey Grayson held onto the Secretary of State position, defeating opponent S. Bruce Hendrickson 55% to 43%. With the Attorney General seat up for grabs in Kentucky, students elected Republican Stan Lee over Democrat Jack Conway 53% to 45%. Republican Linda Greenwell was able to oust Democrat incumbent Crit Luallen as Auditor of Public Accounts, defeating her 58% to 40%. With no incumbent running for State Treasurer in Kentucky, this race proved to be one of the closest races this election. Students elected Melinda Wheeler to the position over Todd Hollenbach, 53% to 46%. Richie Farmer was able garner enough student votes (60%) to beat out democratic challenger David Lynn Williams (38%) from becoming Kentucky's Commissioner of Agriculture. Of these six races, students voted all Republican candidates into office.
