As you heard in Social Studies last week Friday, we will be using the Electoral College voting system to select our Bursley Student Council representatives this year.
Today in Social Studies each student drew a Popsicle stick labeled with one of the 50 states. The state they were assigned determines how many electoral votes they will get to cast in our Student Council election on Wednesday.
With the exception of Washington DC, whose number of electoral votes is determined by the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution, the number of electoral votes that each state gets is equal to the number of people that represent the state in the U.S. Senate (always 2) and the U.S. House of Representatives (number depends on state population).
The lists below show which students chose which states.
If you are curious how many votes that means that each student gets in our Student Council election, please visit
this link.
Students interested in being considered for Student Council should be ready to tell their homeroom classmates the reasons why they should be chosen for this important role during Social Studies on Wednesday.
If you have questions about this, please click here to send me a message!
Thanks,
Mrs. Steele
