If your teacher or Mrs Stewart thinks you would be a good representative they will give you a piece of paper that you can write why you would be a good council member on. You have a week to talk to your classmates to say why they should choose you. You will then say a short speech to your class explaining why they should choose you. The class will then have a vote.
