Allegra Boverman/Gloucester Daily Times. Essex Elementary students registered Tuesday to vote in a mock election on Thursday as part of the 2012 National Student/Parent Mock Election, sponsored by the JFK Presidential Library and Museum. This year, the kids will also vote in a ballot question on which of four shapes the town should use for pet registration tags this year. The most popular pet collar tag, voted on only by students, will become the official pet tag for this year. Town Clerk Christina Wright was helping students register on Tuesday during lunchtime.
