OVERVIEW
Student and College Voting
Student elections are an important part of education because they introduce students to democracy, leadership, representation, and decision-making at an early stage of life. Schools, colleges, universities, and educational institutions use elections to select student representatives who can communicate students' interests and participate in institutional activities. Student elections can also help students understand how democratic processes work in practice.
India has a large education ecosystem comprising schools, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions. Depending on the institution, elections may be conducted for class representatives, head boy or head girl, student councils, college unions, department representatives, hostel committees, sports teams, societies, and alumni associations.
Some institutions conduct small internal elections, while others conduct large and highly competitive student elections. Online student voting can make these elections easier to organize by allowing eligible students to vote through mobile phones, tablets, or computers. Right2Vote provides digital voting technology that can help educational institutions conduct secure and convenient elections while reducing queues, paperwork, manual counting, and administrative effort.
