Elections were conducted Sept. 25-26 for freshman positions on the Student Government Association, and it leaves a person wondering: What do people think about their school elections? Do people think about them or people to vote for?

So, I asked random people between classes, “Do you care about school elections?” And here are some of those responses. “No, I didn’t even know we did elections for students this week,” freshman Abby Peterson said.

Besides the IV Leader paper, there really is no way to know about the elections unless we talked directly about them.

Maybe this isn’t talked about by freshman and so when I asked a sophomore, I was expecting more interest in the matter.

“I care to an extent, if I know people running, but otherwise it wouldn’t matter to me,” sophomore Morgan Nelson said.

This may be that people don’t know what student government does and the importance of it.

On the other hand, there was some interest from students.

“Yes, even in high school, I always cared for school elections and made sure to vote,” freshman Hailey Larsen said.

Some students are more inclined than others depending on what they choose to be involved in when it comes to school.
