Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Many minor positions in government go unopposed, and when there actually is an election, it's very small scale. Election turnouts in countries without mandatory voting are frequently low, and few people take part in elections unless they're voting for a more presitigous job. Since real life student councils aren't worth much more than an extracurricular activity on your college application, real life students are largely apathetic as to who is on the ballot. While the candidates may get worked up about the election, it's rare that they spend much money on campaign materials. Rallies only happen if the school forces the students to attend one where all the candidates speak - and most students suffer through them in silence. The voting process usually consists of a few moments in home room filling out a form and passing it to the teacher, after which the election ends with a small announcement on the school loudspeaker. |
