PHOTOS: Richfield Elementary Students Cast Their Votes for President

Election Day in Richfield wasn't just for those 18 years and older.

While Richfield Dual Language School students can't legally vote yet, many of them did cast a vote for President of the United States Tuesday.

Student voters in Grades 3, 4 and 5 made their way to Room 119 to not only make their pick for Commander in Chief, but also their choices for the school's student council and representative positions. Grade 2 students only voted on the Obama-Romney race.

The following are the names of the student candidates and the positions they are seeking:
