What are good ideas for a student government campaign?

I am planning on running for the student elections at my school, in two weeks. I have two minutes during our ‘election assembly’ for a presentation (video/acting/etc.). Does anyone have any good suggestions for a video or presentation that people will remember me by, and that will convince people to vote for me?

and, I can put up posters around the school. Any ides for posters would be appreciated. thnx!

Answer #1

Hey, I am running for president at my school as well-and all the advice I have had from past reps is to keep your face on the posters. That way they will will recognize you and feel like they know you better, haven’t tried it yet…but I’m workin on it-best of luck!

Answer #2

Find some of the problems in your school that people are concerned with.

Ask different kids of all types and get some input.

Maybe you could even do a video on how all of us really desire the same things in life.

From the jocks, to the goth, to the nerds, to the druggies, to the kid that seems invisible.

If you can find an angle that can demonstrate how we all desire the same thing and how we are really not that different from each other, it can create a unity at your school that could be very powerful!!

At the end, guess who they will remember?

THIS WAS NO HELP!

Answer #6

Well you must have a nice clean race, nothing mean or hurtful. What really gets them going, is throwing out candy. not as a bribe, just get some indiidually wrapped candies and say “everything stays sweet with (your name)” and that will get them to consider you. And you could also ask them what they want like a suggetstion box, for ideas in the next president.

Answer #7

eat chicken not cheese!!!

Answer #8

Hey, I recently won for president. What I did was posters. Trust me if you put your picture on it people will know who you are. And campain in every classroom possible. Try to target the elementery children they are easier to speak to. As for middle scool just post pictures of you in their classrooms.Hope this helps!

Answer #9

I ran in fourth grade and sadly didnt make it at my school.. but in fifth grade I did… my mom helped me with this idea from her past… what you do is you get some jingle bells, ribon, and paper.. you put like two bells around the ribbon.. then you print out papers that say vote for ??? then you hole punch them and put them on the ribbon as well… its really cute.. sometimes you see cheerleaders doing this to get attention or to be seen as a group… also whats really fun with this idea is that you can annoy the teachers… hahah

Answer #10

I dont have many ideas for the assembaly but one great idea to promot your self is to take chalk and right vote for _ on the side walk or in front of the school another great idea is to do the ribbons just like the pink ones for relay for life and the yellow ones for our troops, all you ned to get is some fabric ribbon and some saftey pins its cheap and a great way to promot you fast!

Answer #11

Hey! Im glad to hear you are running for a student council position. Its great to be a leader at your school! In high school, I was Student Government President. One really cool way that i campaigned was that I used chalk to write my name and “Vote for Me” on the sidewalks and cement areas in front of the school. What you do is you go to the school at night, maybe around 7pm when no one is there and have some of your friends or family help you chalk. Trust me, this is a GREAT stradegy because a lot of people can see your name!!! Good Luck!
