Voting

= VOTING Online = Make your life easier, homecoming week less hectic, and simulate a real election process during student council elections by creating an online voting forum through Google Docs.

Procedures: 1. Registration (decide if students need to be registered voters). 2. Precincts-(set up one area or multiple areas for students to vote). 3. Google Docs (sign up as a member of google, create a google docs form, and post on the internet for a designated time). 4. Advertise, Advertise, Advertise (Location is key. Prizes help too). 5. Voting Day-Same day results announced.

If you have laptops available in your school they are really helpful!

Have your committee members on hand to advertise during the voting process as well as help hand out prizes and assist in resetting the computers.

Find an area that can handle large amounts of students at one time. You may be overwhelmed with the turn out, so we suggest more than one day to vote, especially so you can adjust for the following day!

Through the use of Google Docs you no longer have to hand count votes. The bar graph is especially helpful!

You have a record of who voted, when they voted, and who they voted for. This eliminates anyone who votes more than once!
