Elections at WIS,Atun Road,Bhilwara (Grade III to IX)

Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation. .

One of the great challenges of all democracies is to get their citizens involved in the political system. Declining turnout and increasing indifference is haunting old as well as newer democracies. Obviously, the school is an important arena for equipping younger people with both knowledge and engagement that could benefit the political system.

Thursday, April 11,2019 was Election Day at Witty International School. The students had to vote for a new Head Girl, Head Boy, Sports Captain and Cultural secretary.

The candidates campaigned with a lot of enthusiasm during long and short breaks. They prepared attractive symbols which represented them. All the candidates promoted peaceful values, showing their willingness to contribute to improve the life of their fellows during the school year.

For the first time an electronic voting system was introduced in Witty. The proposed model had a greater security and was less time consuming.

On the morning of the elections the IT lab at Witty was converted into a polling station, around 10 students could cast their vote at one go.

The votes were automatically counted and Palash Choudhary became the Head Boy, Minal Jain,the head girl, Pratham Jain, Sports Captain and Niket Jain was declared the cultural Secretary.  The students’ council will soon assume their term duties. They will be assisted by the teachers.

The second phase of elections marked the election of the Captains and the Vice- Captains of the four Houses.

The Principal of the School Mrs  Abha Mittal congratulated the students' council for their future endeavours. She motivated and encouraged the candidates who couldn’t make it. She appreciated the eco friendly system of polling and enlightened the students of its advantages.
