How to win a class election

You may not realize now, but participating in school events like student council and class elections will make a positive impact on your life and your future. Extra curricular activities and positions held look on college applications and when applying for a job. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Things You'll Need

• Posters
• <br>Freebies
• <br>Funny speech

Instructions

1. Make your campaign big. Big posters and lots of flyers posted and passed around campus. Before anyone is interested in what you have to say and offer, they have to know you exist and that you are running. So create a big presence.

2. Give out freebies. Everybody loves candy, so if you want to really impress, attach business cards or tiny banners with your name and slogan to the candy. Also try stickers, bracelets and pencils.

3. Present yourself effectively. Students like laughter so make your speech funny and informative. Put your speech and your platform on YouTube. Many will see it and it will be impressive.

4. The most important thing when running for an elected position at school is to remain true to yourself, be honest and appeal to a broad range of people. Do not promise what you cannot deliver as this will lead to an unsuccessful and almost significantly decrease your chances of ever being elected again for any position.

Tips & Warnings

• Being yourself and being informed are two great qualities to have for class elections.

• Never lie about things you cannot produce later.
