Develop a campaign slogan so that students will associate positive changes for the school with your candidacy for vice president. You slogan may be something like "Better Tasting Lunches" or "Respect From Teachers and Principals." Choose a slogan that represents your goals as the vice president of your class and do not promise students something you know you cannot achieve. A positive campaign slogan will help students become familiar with you as a candidate and will communicate to them the changes they can expect if they elect you.
Make posters and get permission to put them up in the halls of your school. Decorate the posters with a picture of yourself as well as your campaign slogan. In this way you can ensure that students will become familiar with your candidacy and will not overlook your name on the ballot, as they may if you are a stranger. Use colorful paper and glitter glue to decorate the posters so that they catch students' attention as they walk through the halls. Host a poster-making party and get friends and supporters to help you decorate the posters. A poster-making party will allow you to build support and will help voters understand that you are a fun and motivated candidate. Placing posters in your school will alert your classmates that you are running for vice president and allow them to recognize you.
Most schools give candidates for SCA the opportunity to give speeches to their classmates. Prepare for your speech so that you seem like a dedicated and organized vice president. Talk to your classmates before writing your speech to learn what issues are important to your peers, and incorporate solutions to the problems people mention into your speech. Your classmates will appreciate a candidate that listens to their suggestions. Revise your speech until you are satisfied with it. Rehearse and attempt to memorize it. Incorporate humor to catch students' interest but also pay attention to serious issues. A thoughtful and well constructed speech makes you seem like a capable candidate and should result in more votes.
Obtain a fabric marker and several plain T-shirts. Write "Vote for [insert name]" in clearly legible handwriting and distribute them to your classmates. You can also write your campaign slogan on the T-shirt. Distributing T-shirts also allows you to invoke the moment in the movie "Napoleon Dynamite," in which Napoleon's friend Pedro runs for office and promotes his campaign by distributing T-shirts that read, "Vote for Pedro." Not only will your classmates become familiar with your name as a result of seeing it on T-shirts, they may have a fondness for this movie and be won over by your creativity and invocation of pop culture.
