school on Wednesday, May 31

22” X 28”). The posters must have holes punched in each of the four corners to secure them to

the fence with zip ties. The posters MUST be covered in clear contact paper or clear packing

tape to preserve their integrity while on display. ALL posters must be taken down by the

students before the end of the day on Friday, June 2

CONDUCT: Anyone caught defacing another candidate’s posters or campaign materials will

have their posters removed and will be immediately disqualified from the election. Candidates

must avoid any ploys or dishonest means of swaying the student voting process (e.g., students

should not make promises that they cannot uphold, they should not tell stories to invoke pity or

pressure on voters, and they should not attempt to manipulate or sway students from voting for

other candidates). This is NOT a popularity contest – Student Council is a collaborative, inclusive

environment meant to promote leadership and stewardship. Please keep these principles in

mind when conducting yourself during the campaigning process.

reflect the serious nature of the election. If a video is deemed inappropriate, it will be removed,
