Presidential Election in Room 11

We looked at the role of the President and learned about former Presidents of Ireland in sixth class this week. We also held a mock election , voting by secret ballot. Toby and Éanna were selected as the polling station clerks. When voting was completed, Kane sorted the ballot papers eliminating any spoiled votes. The votes were then counted and the quota (15 votes) was met by Michael D. Higgins in the first count. We will be watching the count centres carefully this weekend to see if the result will be similar.
