Student council?

I am running to be in student council, and i want to either be the president or the vice president. I reallly really want to win, but i almost feel that if i dont get elected to be president or vice president, i'll cry my heart out. There will be 23 people all wanting to be in the student council, and only 8 positions, including president and vice president. Any tips on how to do good, mabye what happened to you when you ran for student council? We also have to do an application. I am kind of a perfectionist. I am also in 7th grade.

Student council?
I wish you good luck and lots of success!

Make sure you have ideas for event you will have to be hostign to share with the group of people who will be voting. MAKE SURE THAT THE THINGS WILL APPEAL THE THE VOTERS. keep it shor tand sweet so you dont loose there interest
Reply:I worked on student council in my last year of high school, and was on the committee overseeing that year's election. The candidates who won, unfortunately enough, were the most popular and had the best presentation. Their platform, however, wasn't very original or realistic. You need to evenly balance good politics and a good persona.





When you're giving your speech, interact with the audience in a way that suggests you're having fun doing this. Don't just answer their questions straight out. Joke around with them. Offer some freebies if you can. Play some music before it's your turn to speak.





Before the election itself, make sure to have a better advertising campaign than just "Vote for Maddison." If you've ever seen the movie Napoleon Dynamite, you can take some cues from there. Remember: "If you vote for me, I will make all of your wildest dreams come true." That'll get them every time.





Your platform shouldn't be all about clubs and school dances. Discuss ways to improve the building or the daily schedule. Talk about ways the students can help the community and the environment. Hopefully, you're planning a few decent charity projects. Also, make sure that some of your planned activities give the students the chance to speak out. Consider a "[name of your school] Idol" or a comedy night.





Good luck!
