Election Day Coloring Pages

These Election Day coloring pages are a fun way to introduce kids to voting, democracy, and how elections work in the United States.

The printable set includes pages featuring an I Voted sticker, ballot box, polling booth, voting check mark, a democracy-themed page with kids holding American flags, and the donkey and elephant symbols associated with the two major political parties.

We’ve used coloring pages like these alongside our civics lessons because they give younger students something hands-on to do while we talk about why people vote and what happens on Election Day.

What’s Included in the Election Day Coloring Pages

Each page focuses on a different part of Election Day, making it easy to use the whole set together or choose individual sheets to fit your lesson. Some focus on the practical side of voting, while others introduce familiar American and political symbols.

Below, I’ve shared a little more about each design and how you can use it with kids.

I Voted Coloring Page

The I Voted coloring sheet introduces kids to the familiar sticker people often wear after casting their ballot. It’s a simple way to talk about why people vote and how taking part in an election gives citizens a voice in government.

Vote Coloring Page

There are two vote coloring pages in the set, both with large lettering that younger kids can easily color.

One features a patriotic VOTE design, while the other introduces Election Day and explains that citizens can vote in federal, state, and local elections.

Voting Coloring Pages

These voting coloring pages help kids understand some of the practical steps involved in an election.

They include marking a choice on a ballot, voting privately at a polling booth, and placing a completed vote into a ballot box to be counted.

They’re useful for explaining the basic voting process in a simple, visual way, from making a choice on the ballot to submitting a completed vote.

Political Party Coloring Pages

The political party coloring pages feature the donkey and elephant, the symbols commonly associated with the Democratic and Republican parties.

Kids can color both designs while learning to recognize two symbols they’re likely to see during U.S. elections.

Democracy Coloring Page

The final democracy coloring page features four kids holding American flags. It works well for discussing the bigger idea behind Election Day: that voting is one of the ways citizens participate in American democracy and have a say in how they are represented.

For another patriotic activity featuring the American flag, our Flag Day worksheets are a good one to use later in the year.

Using the Coloring Pages to Teach Voting and Democracy

These democracy coloring pages can be used as more than a simple coloring activity. They give kids a visual way to learn what happens on Election Day and why voting is an important part of American democracy.

As kids work through the pages, you can talk about how eligible citizens vote for their chosen candidates, why voting is private, and how completed ballots are collected and counted. Younger kids don’t need to understand every detail of the election process, but they can begin to understand that voting gives citizens a voice in choosing their representatives.

We’ve found activities like these especially useful alongside a civics or government lesson, as kids have something hands-on to work on while we discuss the topic.

More Election Day Activities for Kids

There are plenty of ways to continue learning about elections, government, and civics after finishing the coloring pages.

Our Constitution coloring pages introduce kids to the document that established the framework for the U.S. government, with simple activities that make some of the key ideas easier to understand.

For more election-related learning, the Kamala Harris timeline coloring pages and Donald Trump worksheet introduce kids to two prominent U.S. political figures through coloring and informational activities.

Older kids can also test what they know with our American government trivia quiz, which includes 69 multiple-choice questions divided into three age groups.

Election Day Books for Kids

Pair the coloring pages with one of these books to explore voting, elections, and democracy in a little more detail.

• The Little Book of Presidential Elections – A simple introduction to presidential elections for younger kids, covering the basics without overwhelming them.
• Duck for President – A much more playful choice, following Duck as he works his way from running the farm to running for president. This would be my pick for making an Election Day lesson more fun.
• One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote – A Cat in the Hat Learning Library book that introduces voting, campaigns, political parties, and how elections work in a kid-friendly way.
