How to WIN your Student Council Election | From a Student Council President

[@clanclashers5569]

student council elections are popularity contests

[@audreyfallon2251]

that makes running against someone popular who doesn't even care about what there doing even worse. I'm really contemplating running.

[@Japan00000]

That’s the challenge. While campaigning we gotta make people see the importance of the election and that the popular people took advantage of the voters to win election easily. Show the voters that the popular team think they’re easy to influenced.

[@mitchikoparrish4646]

I wasn't the most popular and I won by a landslide against the girl who was homecoming queen Freshman, sophomore, and junior year. I ran a great campaign, never overestimating my opponent. And I won.

[@ari0312]

Hey, I'm also running for Grade 10 President, against the most popular guy in our school. I don't know if I can won against him but I'll do my best! Padayon!!!

[@radsamm]

I am soo grateful you posted this. Im in my last year of middle school and super scared. I was nominated to be president and ive never really thought about this but this made me want to do this and gave me so much motivation! As one of the "smart" kids i really want to make a difference in my school and this gave me so much confidence! Thanks!

as a person who signed up for secretary or vice president on a whim, campaigning starts tomorrow(AND I DONT HAVE THINGS DONE..), this was really helpful! i just joined this primary - junior high, school just 2 weeks ago, and i am really anti social. but, i did make friends. over break, i’ll try to interact with friends who are also running for positions for the body. elections start next week tuesday, sep 5 , and i’ll update if i get in or not. i am so grateful to have seen this! this helps so much! LATE UPDATE: our speeches and voting did get held back a day since there were some technical difficulties with students parents not knowing that there was campaigning. but, we did eventually did it! I unfortunately didn’t get the spot as v.p, however, i expected it! i messed up on my speech (went to fast at the beginning and stuttered cause i was nervous..) and didn’t get time to put up posters www;; but i’m glad to say, the classmate i was running against won! congrats to him👏🏼 ! i could try running again next year anyways! ty for your support🙌 PROBABLY HELPFUL TIP: when making your speech, please, PLEASE, put emotion behind your words. entice them. make your voice loud, and clear. make a good remarks on your speech. mention things you can help with the school , BUT. never EVER, make promises. we cant be certain.

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Sounds great 😊

[@rae1607]

This vid was a great help! Although my school doesn't really offer campaigning to prefects( who are only sophomores), it has an application process, a series of interviews and voting. I became a prefect for my sophomore year only a couple months ago which was pretty cool. Pretty good insight he gave here. My tip: if your school has interviews, just keep calm and collected and have clear motive of what you wanna bring to your school and the people around you. They really love it when you use key terms like 'teamwork" and "inclusivity" and for me, I think my vocabulary played a MAJOR role so keep that in mind! Besides, just be attentive to their questions and reflect a little before you answer. Give examples to support your answers. For instance, I gave an irl example for every question which required it, and PLEASE highlight your impressive achievements in your application/interview cause I just spat out every e.c.a of mine, lol. I hope this helped

[@NelsonLeeYT]

I’m glad that it helped!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Great advice for interviews as well for other viewers

[@dbzgal04]

When I was in 6th grade I ran for student council on a whim, but the girl I ran against won. I felt it coming though, because she was a Miss Popular for one thing; in fact, other students in the classroom made it clear they would've voted for her, and they expressed joy upon learning that she did in fact win. Both me and the girl received a jolly rancher, but then she went on to receive several other prizes, with the teacher repeatedly telling me "Nice try" and congratulating the winner. All that did was rub it in, along with the fact that other students were making it clear they were glad of the results. I never ran for student council again, but for other reasons though. And, believe it or not, a couple years later in 8th grade, that very same girl helped another student sexually harass me in the lunch line. She was telling him to ask me what my...unmentionables, smelled like and tasted like, and he went along with it.

Awesome video, very helpful! I’m running for Student council officer as a 7th grader and if I win, I will be part of SC in 8th. Spots: 4 Nominees: 8 (including me) Voters: 6th and 7th graders (256 total) My slogan: With Officer Kristel, our school will excel! Something memorable about me: I have a signature headband that only I wear, and my favorite color is known to be pink (which is also my campaign color). I currently have a campaign manager, my friend, who has made posters and helped come up with the slogan. She also will tell her friends that I’m running. I plan to send a google form to my close circle asking what kind of changes they’d like to see, and I’ll mention those ideas in my speech. In my opinion, this is a pretty solid plan. The only thing is, I’m not very popular, but I have many friends. 7th graders will tend to vote for their friends, so a defining factor are 6th graders. I only have 1 6th grade friend so I’m not sure how to appeal to 6th graders. I don’t have any social media to promote myself. Any advice? I’ll update you after the election.

My school is starting a student council campaign for the first time ever, so I don't have any experience. I've been in similar situations that required a voting session before but never something this slim of a chance to win. It use to be maybe 2-3 people out of 30. Suddenly it's now 8 people out of almost 200. (1 in 25) The gap is huge and it's quite overwhelming. I'd like to know what interests other students because I've always been the quiet A+ student who hangs out with only one friend. I already know others in my year will be going all out with posters, badges, and bribes. I don't want to do the ones that everyone else is doing since I'd like to be a little bit unique to catch everyone's attention. I really don't know what to go for but I was thinking of making little bags with some sweets, origami bookmarks and a little card explaining why voting for me would be a good option. I still need more ideas because it's till Hallowe'en break and I would really love to do something special weekly! It would be so helpful if you responded with some ideas I could do to win the votes!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Those are all great ideas! I think the best thing you can do is get out there everyday and meet 10 new people! Talk to them about how you want to make the school better and how that’ll make their school experience more awesome! I have faith you can do this! Let me know how it goes 🤩

Because personally I am running for student council president with the intentions to boost my resume but I know clearly what the school needs and wants.

[@constancerose2675]

I want to run for head girl, ik it’s different but it’s similar. They are both versions of politics, (but not politics lol) but just in school! In my opinion (based off of my school and the info I’ve gotten) the voting is a mixture of different things: 40% teacher votes, 25% general class voting like fair voting, 35% popularity contest. The girls who are running for head girl have to send in videos stating why they would make a good head. It’s shown to the teachers near the end of the summer term, they cast their votes. Then it’s shown to the classes, they do the same. I’m semi-popular, which means that quite a lot of people like me in my year, but not everyone. I’m smart, generous and I have a few cons but everyone does! I say generous knowing that I am. I don’t want to sound self absorbed or arrogant but it’s factually true! I spend a lot of the time comforting people, giving advice, giving spare food when girls don’t have snacks, I help people with most problems and I lend my classmates stationary. I’m noticed in class for being tidy and organised. I’m not the brightest but I am in the top class. And you don’t have to be smart to be head girl. Do you think I will get it?

I'm afraid of running sure, but I mean it's better to be afraid than miss out. Any tips how to talk into the camera without awkwardness and to sound a little bit funny ,but responsible? I'm sorry if it sound weird , but I really want to be part of student council and bring new ideas to my school :)

hey, this video was super helpful, but my biggest problem is that i have someone competing against with a huge student influence and has already got half the grade, people are blindly voting for frndship and not eligibility. in such cases how can i make my voice heard and also our school is really really formal so even crackin a joke in the speech is a huge risk, and in such cases what can i do to make it more impactfull

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Share your vision for the school and let them know you want to make it better for them!

hey! im running for elections in my school but its all online due to the pandemic so i cant have personal interactions and i dont think most of em r even on social media. the only way i can campaign is through a short vedio and digital posters. any advices?

[@NelsonLeeYT]

Running online is definitely a very different experience. Try organic messaging through social media or SMS or getting people to spread your message to two other friends. Other than that, your short videos need to be very engaging then!

Thanks man, became Vice Pres senior year!

So I'm going into a new school and nobody knows me. I was in Student Council for all of middle school and want to get into it again, but we didn't have electric, so I don't know how this would go. I have a speech impediment, so speeches and talking is very difficult for other people to understand what i am saying. Is there any tips on what I do? One tip got from somebody was to tell them before I have a speech, that I have a speech impediment. Any more tips you might know of?

[@Wynseljc]

Our teacher just told us that me and my bff were picked out as president nominees, this is the very 1st student council election at our school and its making me very nervous since if i win the election i will be the 1st student council president ever at our school. The proclamation would be on February 16.

Hi, this is so helpful. When you talk about a platform, would google doc be enough or do you have any suggestions?

[@Kikibeans1]

One time in grade 6 I ran for class mayor and i wasn’t even the most popular I was just nice to everyone and amazed them by making a big poster of a down sized town CC with a police station, a hospital, a fire department, a supermarket, a pound and a small house each with a name of a class mate on it. Then I made a 3 page speech talking about the pond pollution the roads potholes the internet and how to fix it then I won 🙌.

Nice!!! What a great and inspirational story ⭐️🤩

[@pickles7168]

me and my friend Ellie are considered smart kids, I'd say she's the smarter one because she does almost nothing besides school work where I'm always talking to people as I work. we're both freshmen in highschool and she wants me to run for vice president when she runs for president but I know almost nothing about this so I'm looking into it!

[@NelsonLeeYT]

You got this! That sounds fun :D

[@imtotallynathan7564]

Reason for me running. Organization & reliability. My school does things very last minute due to certain parts of decision making and I want to also have other kids not in The ASB have a say because what if like me they could get the chance or people outside ASB have a different opinion and want. So giving the other kids the option to have a say I'm what we plan and also I try to find a way to make the decision faster that way last minute things don't happen. Cause personally I have a mother who hates last minute things so having control that it won't be helps people with parents similar to mine (We are a small school so the have kids having a say is easy while semi difficult) meanwhile my competitor takes the happy go lucky child side of things

[@DarienCylaku-xm3mp]

I think i’m going to win tomorrow

[@PurpleMagic1409]

Against a very popular kid but I’m confident in being myself and open to KZbin to help expand what I should do. I’m running for ecosystem representative (eco rep) I personally want to help grow and teach kids in my school how to care for plants, I also would like my school look even better with addition of plants and be able to manage plants and have a safe and amazing looking environment. School elections on 21st I’ll give updates
