At JGIS, we have elected our Head Boy and Head Girl. Sports Captain was selected. We conducted a mock election. The purpose of it was to give the children a ‘Hands on’ experience on the conduction of election.
We followed the same procedures as it is followed in the actual election.

Those who felt they are eligible for the posts took the nomination forms. They were asked to return the filled in forms on 13th or 14th June, 2023 with a logo.
10 of them submitted their nominations forms.
On 15th June, 2023 the nomination forms were scrutinized and name of the eligible candidates were announced. 9 were declared eligible.
On 17th June, 2023 there was a panel interview by 3 jury members-Ms. Uma Oza, Teacher Trainer; Ms. Nimisha Kane, former principal of Anand Niketan and Ms. Kshitija Desai, a student of Psychology from Ashoka University and a young entrepreneur.
6 of them could clear the interview. One was selected as Sports Captain.
The candidates campaigned for 2 days- 19th and 22nd June, 2023.
An election commission was set up for the fair and smooth conduction of the election. It comprised different committees and officials. It was headed by the Chief Election Commissioner, to support her; there were two Deputy Election Commissioners. There was a Returning Officer, team of media coverage and the Poll Officials. All the above said officials were chosen from class XI.
On 22nd Election Commissioner spoke about the need of election in a democracy, why we are doing it in school, how to cast vote, how your vote can be invalid what if there is a tie and also the commission appealed to the voters (who were from classes VII-XII) to cast votes judiciously without being influenced by any kind of pressure.
Date of polling was on 23rd June. Venue was the school auditorium. Four booths were made. Secret voting was done. Each booth had a laptop and a technician from the school. Names and the symbols were appeared on the screen. The voters had to click twice, one for the Head Boy and the other for Head Girl. Before entering the booth, the voters’ names were checked from the electoral roll and a mark was made on the index of their left-hand with indelible ink. The voters came class-wise.
After all the voters were done, the officials voted.
The votes were counted. All four booths gave their individual result, out of which the master result generated.
Next step was the handling over the names of the winners by the Returning Officer to the Principal.
Finally, the result was announced by the Principal, Dr. Kavita Sharma.
The entire process took 1 hour 20 minutes to complete.
The House captains, Vice Captains [Senior & Junior], Prefect and Sports Vice Captain were also selected by a Panel comprised of the newly elected Executive Council.
