MUMBAI: Senator John Kerry has come out on top of Nickelodeon's Kids' Vote initiative in the US. Kids voted online at nick.com a few days ago. .
 
 
Nickelodeon has held a Kids' Vote every election year since 1988. Kids have correctly predicted the winner of the general elections for the last four US presidential campaigns..

John Kerry received 57 per cent of the vote, and President George W. Bush received 43 per cent. Nearly 400,000 votes were cast.

Nickelodeon Television president Cyma Zarghami said, "The 'Kids' Vote' seems to work as a good barometer of the actual presidential vote because developmentally, kids between 2 and 11 share the same opinions and outlooks as their parents.

"What really counts, though, is the fact that kids got interested in the campaign and let their voices be heard. That is a great habit to develop and hold on to as they grow into responsible adults."

Nick is now urging kids to Nag the Vote by motivating adults to get involved with the political process and vote on Election Day 2 November.

Nickelodeon is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
