Student vote shows different results
27 October 2010
I found a link to the student vote for the municipal elections posted on Facebook today, and the results are interesting - a little disappointing to me, too. Gave me something to think about, too, and about my own name recognition among students and youth.
These results are from the local elementary schools, not the high schools, so there may be a lot of input from parents and teachers that colour the results.Some of the results reflect what happened, others are quite different. One council candidate is not even listed in the results, but her absence is not explained.
Makes me wonder what was behind the name recognition, makes me wonder why the kids chose some candidates and not others. And what does anyone have to work at getting more recognition among youth (and most likely their parents)?
Here are the results from this site, in order, with the actual standings in parentheses after the student vote figure:
