student council elections are popularity contests
that makes running against someone popular who doesn't even care about what there doing even worse. I'm really contemplating running.
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.
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.
@@mitchikoparrish4646 im running for senior class president and im running against a popular girl on one hand i know that no one barely likes her but on the other she’s popular but i know I actually have concerns that i want to fix and change
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!!!
I won, Thanks. I was in a very contentious election where most of my friends thought I would lose. I got 70% of the vote and shocked everyone.
LETS GOOO 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats
Congratulations 🎉 I will post my winning success here once this election is over here
@@gloriamichelle3560 I’ve got re-election my 5th so we are both here for each other
@@gloriamichelle3560 I won my re election 75% of the vote this time
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!
I'm so glad to be of help!
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.
i’m really sorry :( you didn’t deserve that at all
Aww that sucks. I hope that doesn't discourage you from running again in the future!
@@stereovenus The reactions of the other students, or what the girl did a couple years later, or both? Either way, thank you so much!
Bro you got tge mental strength to take that because i am someone who is dangerous after the sanething keep happening to me which i dont like
sorry about that you did nothing wrong
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.
You got this!
DID YOU GET ITT
@@thermodynamiclawyer OOPS I FORGOT ABT THIS FHJSS
@@nebiiki BUT DIDJA GET IT? IM RUNNING FOR PRES NEXT WEEK
@@thermodynamiclawyer I UPDATED MY COMMENT;;; ALSO GL RUNNING! (a tip i learned for the speech section: try to add comments on what you can do for the school, and why you’re good for it. mention you can help make fundraisers / events / dress down days as well! Make sure to add emotion to your speech. trust me wwww)
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
I’m glad that it helped!
Great advice for interviews as well for other viewers
Thanks so much for making this! This really helps me with this upcoming election, which I was so lost about.
I’m glad it helped 🤩
your video really helped a lot. i am going to use the steps and the tricks that you showed me through your video. am glad you posted this!
In order to win you must make winning look impossible in the opponents eye and bluff. Which will probably force the rest to accept you and be good terms with you
Tell me how to bluff
@@shotspurfect6738 be everywhere, or even seem like you are.
Make people know who you are
Wow,I love your video.
It is my first time running for Student Council Election and I have not heard about it in my entire life and I am running for it😅
Dude this is awesome. I am running for student council now and Before I saw this video i was scared but now I’m felling quite comfident
That's great man! You got this ☺️
I got on to the next stage for my school junior leadership. Found this video very useful.
I'm so glad to be of help!
I’m running for freshman representation against like a crap ton of popular people and honestly I’m a little anxious but I’ll try my best! Thank you!
You got this ❤️
@@NelsonLeeYT I won! Somehow! XD I think it might’ve been my speech i kind of made it silly but still on topic.
@@ArtisticAlly123 give me advice please
@@ahmedalnhari8728 This is what I made for my speech (it was really dumb) btw it was a video
Hi, I’m _____ and I’m running for freshman representative. I know I’ll make a huge impact to the school. [I enter the school and it shows two people fighting over a bag of chips]
Person 1: give me my chips back!
Person 2: No! You’re ugly I don’t want to give it back!
Me: Hey! Give person 1 their chips back, it isn’t yours.
Person 2: oh sorry ___ you’re right.
[I continue the speech]
Like what you just saw, I know how to handle problems you may have. I’m always here to help.
[As I walk it shows an injured person on the ground. I hand them a bandage and continue talking]
I am always there for you for whatever you need.
[There are two people walking to the bathrooms]
Person 3: Lets vandalize the bathroom
Person 4: OK!
[I tell them to stop, they run away]
And I’ll always make sure our school is a safe place to be. So what are you waiting for, vote me, ____ for freshman representative!!
Yeah its really silly lol. I also made lots of posters and got my friends to spread the word to vote me
@@ArtisticAlly123 congrats bro 🎉🥳
Nice effort. Nice scenery. Nice enthusiasm too. Subscribbled :) Keep up the vids
Thanks Sigil!
I'm standing for Deputy Head girl in my first year of college, I've given a great CV, and this video has helped me tremendously. Can't wait to win. I'll post an update if I won or not. Voting will be on Friday, September 3rd, 2021. Result and coronation ceremony for the newly elected student body council will be on Monday. Today is Tuesday, 31st August 2021, and they'll announce the candidates today. I hope to make it in. Then two days will be dedicated to campaigning, and I've already gotten posters and memes and my objectives all written out, ready to be printed. Can't wait!
UPDATE: I'm a bit late, but I won! Part of the student body council baby!!
Best of luck tomorrow! You got this Kinza 🥳🥳
Best luck for MAPA Party List.
Manalo o matalo, ang importante ay lumaban!!!
Padayon!
Hey can i contact you please?
I’m fine with running student council…. It’s just that I get stage fright/anxiety
Don't worry about it! You got this 🥳
@@NelsonLeeYT tyy! 🥺
I relate to this so much! I have the exact same feeling. You are not alone, you got this!
@@a.h.2104 thank you! You got this too!

Im trying out for student council and im soon nervous!!!! Thanks for this video I will definitely be taking your tips into consideration
Glad it helped!
you're helping me so much. I'm so grateful for you. thank you so much.
Glad I could be of help!
These are pretty solid advices. Thank you for thus
Thanks for this video Nelson - very helpful. Best wishes.
Glad it’s helpful Navinder!
This video was so helpful. Thank you!
This is just what I needed .thanks Lee for knowing how to lee-d
Thankyou so much I watched this last year, Now I'm the Deputy Minister ❤
Im in Gr.6... I'm goin' to try this!
Thanks! Subbed
That's amazing! And thanks for Subbing!
i'm running for class rep, this helped a lot, thanks!
well class events rep (aka party planner)
@@ghoulicall Good Luck!
Dang, this really works, I can verify. Tysm. Also in July I was at UofT learning Python with Kevin and Dyllan. :) We went on a tour and wow ☺️ it's a great university that I will apply to in the future.
I’m so glad you found the video useful! Definitely come apply to UofT, it’s a great place!
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!
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 🤩
@@NelsonLeeYT Thank you so much! I will try that. We have to present a speech on Wednesday, fingers crossed.
You got this!
This video helped me so much I have a lot of people campaigning this year but I think I have a chance also my slogan is A Vote for me is a Vote for you. I win - you win. Vote Emma Fierro as class representative. Have a good day!
That’s beautiful!
thanks man, with some of the help from this video, i actually won my election for middle school captain!
Congratulations 🎉!!!
I have to present my speech on the 8th of November this year. Wish me luck!
Edit: i was new to the school and all the popular kids got in but i didn’t. :((
Your tips were very helpful and i still appreciate it :)
GOOD LUCK!
Ive been campaigning and elections are october 5th. I cant wait.
You can win! I believe you
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.
You definitely got this! Love the slogan :D
@@NelsonLeeYT Hey, thanks for responding! I made an election video that was a parody of Elle Woods’ video essay from the movie “Legally Blonde.” I did not win, but I’ve been told by many teachers that my video was the best, so I’m happy about that. I think I should’ve told more 6th graders to vote for me by talking to them, so I’ll do that next time.
i really need this! i am running for student body president in my high school and our election is coming up soon! this gave me some reassurance and hopefully I get elected !!
Wonderful!
I'm standing for sports minister. Thanks for the useful tips. Let's wait and see for results ☺️
All the best, good luck!
Heyy tyyssmm!! ill be using these tips for my speech!!! ill edit this once i have done my speech and tell u if i got it or not!

@@NelsonLeeYT heyy!! omg tyssmm!'! im finding out 2moro if i got it and btww i used ur tips for more letter to apply since we had to apply to actually do the speech and out of 43 applicants i was one of the 12 that got in !! ligit i thank u so much!! even if i dont get it im so happy i got accepted by my letter ty!!
@@NelsonLeeYT AH TYYSSMSMSMSMS I GOT IT UR A LIFE SAVERRR
@@NelsonLeeYT I ALSO GOT HOUSE CAPTAINN TYYTY
Congrats 🎉 I’m so proud of you!!!
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?
im have to write my speech and draft today cause the due date is tmr so im writing it rn while watching this and the elections are next wednesday, ill make my poster in the weekend and hang it around on sunday but im scared since i have stage fright and usually have a low voice💀💀
Hey I am at UofT too! Nice to get to know you!
Hi Tazneen, nice to meet you too 😃
Hey everyone! I'm elementary, and most of you guys are older. Results are out tmrw and I really wanna win secretary. I'll comment the results this really helped! Edit: I won! IM SCHOOL SECRETARY
Hope you win!
GUESS WHAT! I won, Im secretary im so happy. Thank you so much!
@@neerajaksrinivasan YAY!!!
GOOD JOB!
I’m so happy for you I wish I had the same luck I ran for Historian and lost
yooooo I'm running for communication coordinator, thanks for the tips!
I am in the student council right now and I am thinking ahead for next year
Wonderful!!!
this is so helpful definitely gonna take this stuff into mind!
question: I want to seem nice and support other runners by reposting their stuff or doing posts w them, is this a bad idea? some people say it’s bad because it’s promoting them but i feel like it’s nice HELP!!
I think it’s a great way to showcase you truly care about the best person winning and it’s demonstrates your good nature. I think it’s a good idea!
Im planning to run as a Public Information Officer and im scared af... Because some of the student running in the same position is in a popular section!! But thanks for uploading this so early and now i can gain confidence to run!
I hope you win 🥳
I am aspiring for the position as head girl in my school.and I need to know more on how to convince my peers to vote for me so that I can lead.
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
I am running for house captain.... against a ton of popular people... tbh I'm really anxious but ill try my best :)
I remember watching this before I became a Student Council. NOW I AM ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man, became Vice Pres senior year!
Running for class president this year, y’all wish me luck!
THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD I WILL UPDATE IF I WIN IT
Sounds great, glad it helped!
Thanks for the advise.

This year, September of 2023, I’m running for student council office. Wish me luck!
I'm running for grade 10 president and I'm so nervous. The other party is too strong, they are well known in skill and very experienced, unlike me whose first timer.
Whatever happen, I'll accept it. Win or loss. What's important in that I chose to fight.
Padayon!!!
You got this!
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?
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!
I need this so much
Yay!
Thank. You helped me. I'm the President of School Council of learners.
Congratulations 🎉
tysm for the tips i want to run for student council in 4th grade this year
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 ⭐️🤩
When i was in 7th grade,i decided to run for student council but i of course lost because of this boy who was very popular and made everyone vote for him which made me very discouraged but im going to try again this year :)
I looked through your website and I thought your platform was very interesting and ambitious, I was wondering how you actually pulled it off? like what steps did you take? specifically for the one where you helped students find careers they want and the steps they can take to succeed
Hey, we were able to do many of the things we set out to do, but COVID put an early brake to the rest of our plans.
@@NelsonLeeYT but how were you planning on accomplishing those goals? Regardless if you ended up doing it

Against a very popular kid but I’m confident in being myself and open to TH-cam to help expand what I should do.

School elections on 21st I’ll give updates
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 :)
Just be you! Think about it like you’re talking to your best friend or your favourite stuffed animal
am humbled for the video Mr. Lee. my problem lies on making a speech on the general university debate day. How do you help me?
Hoping this helps me!!!, the voting is in a week and im super scared but also super stoked about it!!!

Hi, just subscribed! I'm a grade-schooler trying to run for Student Council President, and because of the Pandemic, things got held back and no one got enough time to prepare for the campaigns (we were notified a day ago to start campaigning and the elections are in 1-2 weeks). There are only two people running, and my opponent is more popular than me. Do you have any advice on how to get my ideas and name around quickly? And thank you so much for this video, it was really helpful!
Text as many people as possible! Best way to get the word out.
@@NelsonLeeYT I ended up winning the election! Thank you for the advice!
THAT'S AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉
@@NelsonLeeYT what if you don’t know anyone at the school yet
@@ayotravis2571 that's okay! Explain to them why you're texting them (I want to make your school experience better) and go from there!
I'm applying to bloor ci (tops programme too!! *marc garneau's essential sister school if you wanna put it that way*) and im running this year. let's see how this goes :))
How do u make sure your opponents have no chances of winning
the video is awesome but I'm just not sure about the part where u said "If you're running only for a boost in your resume, I recommend you to drop out." I think that you can still be a wonderful student council president if you know your school's weakness and strong points. 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. So I think u should really consider the way u word it before deciding for others
Other than that I really like the video and I felt really inspired from your video. Keep it up man :)
For sure! That's great. I'm just referring to people who run for only their resume.

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?
Hey Nelson!
your video has ben super useful. For me atleast.
next month are my elections and I wanna be a vice sport captain for 9th grade
and your video has been ultra helpful
I hope I become one, if I do I will subscribe to your channel and will let you know...
But does the 1st point apply to sport captains tho?👀 because I am honestly running for the responsibilty and the duty
btw, I trust in myself and you but I have a girl that hates me with passion and might tell everyone to not vote for me.
what should I do?
Wish me luck!
Outshine her with kindness 🤩
@@NelsonLeeYT Thanks
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!

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
Share your vision for the school and let them know you want to make it better for them!
Hello, I'm in last year of elementary school and want some advice of do you get ready for the election starting early?
Thank you
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.
Thank you so much
Glad to help!

Ya that would be good if you feel people would like that you were on a sports team!
this video helped me a lot!! how about if I don't havr any experiences yet? I have been to multiple clubs since grade 7 but only as a member. Is there any way I can convince them to vote for me? I am running for the position of batch representative, by the way. Thank you.
Then talk about your club experience and how you'll make school better for everyone!
I'll be running for school president, will post an update if i win

That’s amazing! What do you need help with?
@@NelsonLeeYT I got the tips from my sister. I got elected to!
Yasss thanks

Glad it helped!
I'm going to run and I found an awesome plan: so there are about 10 people per grade If I get the kids two grades up then I could get 10-14/15 votes then. I need 6 more votes the older kids influence the younger ones then BOOM. 6-7 more votes
easy landslide
Is anyone else watching this 8 months later 🤭 I'm running in a few days and I'm super nervous
You got this!
I'm really nervous for this year's student council, no reason I'm just nervous but my partylist does have the smart students so ig I'm fine, I also have popularity but I still hope I'm voted
Good Luck!
Man, I have one question. I will describe my situation to make you understand.
So. I've failed elections last year. I wasn't so good, as I suppose to be. But I know that my opponent wasn't elected in legal way. She was putted on her place by school administration. We have proofs, so it's not just me trying to convince myself that my failure is not my fault.
There isn't any democracy at our school. So, de-facto president is just a puppet of headmaster, so do entire parliament. I stand for democracy and freedom. And I need to take over council, but members of parliament don't want to do anything.
As I understand, I need to convince people, but it will be very hard. People at school are passive, they know nothing about council and we don't have enough resources to make powerful campaign.
I have some ideas, but I also want to hear your advice.
Currently in gr 8! i will edit if whether i got in :))
I want to have some amazing ideas but having some trouble thinking of some
if someone could help that would be great
thanks for the tips but i have a doubt my school told me that social media is not possible and post campaigning is also not i tried to ask to the V.P and supervisor but they both said a big big NO NO so can you give any other tips to increase my chance of wining
also you did a very good job on making this video it was very very use full to me and i am sure that all others also did find this help full👍👍
I’m glad it’s helpful 🙏
Im running for student council, Il update this comment if i win or not! gl to people who are running!!!
I'm still in 4th grade about to be in 5th and I'm moving and my new school has school council so I'm trynna figure out how to be good
You're doing great. I believe in you!
So like I haven't really joined any clubs, so what should I talk about in my campaigne video as to why they should vote for me?
i’d like to know too
Talk about your vision for the future of your school! Experience is nice to have but it's not necessary
