Act the part of king or queen. This does not mean you treat the rest of the student body as peasants. Instead, it means you do not slander the competition and you are kind to everybody. Modern royalty are respectful to others at public events. Replicate this behavior by avoiding the rumor mill, saying hello to all voters and respecting others' advertising or campaign efforts.
