Jessica Terlato, a junior in Law and Public Service Magnet Program at Colts Neck High School, won third place in the Monmouth County Clerk’s 2022 Annual Elections and Voting Video Contest.

The Monmouth County Clerk’s Office hosts an Annual Elections and Voting Video Contest for high school students, designed to encourage young people to be engaged in the election process and to learn the importance of voting rights. Participating Monmouth County high school students created a one to three minute video to reflect on what having the right to vote means to them and why it’s important, with an additional focus on educating their peers of the three ways to vote in New Jersey.

Jessica will be honored at an upcoming Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners meeting to receive her award from Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon.
