Student Elections at Government School Near Singanallur: Candidates Canvass for Votes

Student elections at a government school near Singanallur, Coimbatore, scheduled for September 6, 2024, will use electronic voting machines. Candidates began campaigning on September 2, visiting classrooms to seek votes.


Coimbatore: A government school in Masakalipalayam, near Singanallur, is set to hold student elections on September 6, 2024, with a novel approach - the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs). The school administration has announced this innovative method to conduct the upcoming student body elections.

In preparation for the elections, student candidates began their campaigning efforts on September 2. Both male and female students contesting in the elections visited classrooms throughout the school, engaging with their peers and soliciting votes.

This initiative aims to familiarize students with the democratic process and modern voting methods. By introducing EVMs in school elections, the administration hopes to provide a practical learning experience that mirrors real-world election procedures.

The use of electronic voting machines in school elections is a progressive step, potentially setting a precedent for other educational institutions in the region. It not only modernizes the election process but also helps students understand the mechanics of voting systems used in larger scale elections.

As the election day approaches, the school campus is buzzing with excitement. The candidates are expected to continue their campaigning efforts, presenting their ideas and plans to fellow students. This hands-on experience in democracy is likely to leave a lasting impact on the students, preparing them for future civic responsibilities.
