Austin High School students vote during a mock election Thursday in Hastings Gym.

If the national election goes the way it did at Austin High School, President Barack Obama would be reelected with 60 percent of the vote.

AHS students conducted a mock election Thursday, where all students had the opportunity to cast their ballot the same elections registered voters will decide Tuesday. According to AHS officials, about 1,028 out of 1,275 students voted, which means the AHS election had an 81 percent voter turnout.
