Background
The Constitution of SLOHS Performing Arts states that for a person to serve as president, the individual must be entering grades 10-12 and have at least one year of experience with the program. Candidates can nominate themselves or be nominated by others at a yet unknown date in mid-May 2023. Presidential nominees typically do not choose vice presidential running mates; the vice presidency is put to a separate election, and is not granted to the runner-up of the presidential election.
During the voting period, all members of SLOHS Performing Arts are eligible to vote for one candidate for each office. Winners are determined by plurality vote. If only one candidate is in the running for an office, they are automatically declared the winner when nominations close; if multiple candidates are in the running for an office, voting is typically open until midnight 1-2 days later and is announced the subsequent morning.
