i'm not sure. i don't think that schools are supposed to put up any signs, but i guess they are assuming that every one going to vote yes, whatever you guys were voting for. it was probably beneficial to the school if everyone voted yes, and they didn't want anyone discouraged.

It should not be. Nor do I think voting should be a requirement to voice your opinion.\n\nA vote is saying that you affirmatively approve one candidate over another. If none of the people on the ballot are ones that I actually support, I wouldn't vote for them.\n\nHowever, because I am still stuck with whatever laws the majority-elected government chooses to enact,  I absolutely have the right to voice my opinion about those. Especially since I don't actually have the opportunity to vote for most of those laws directly.

Usually you are chosen from voting rolls but obviously that isn't the case here. You will have to go and explain it to them. You might be able to call the number on the notice you got.

False. They can override a veto, but it takes a 2/3 majority vote.

It is up to the fair board to determine its own bylaws.  I can understand why they wanted to reduce your voting block to only one vote (and that is the main reason why they would want to do what they did). \n\nI have seen problems arise in other organizations when family members serve together.  Especially, if all the family members have access to the organizations funds.

I'm not sure there is a petition process for that.  Teachers are under contract so unless the contract allows for them to be let go by petition it can't happen.  Contact your school board member.  They can gather information and during a closed door session discuss with the employee and their lawyer the issue and make a decison as to if the issue warrants being let go.

Watch the movie Election.  I'm sure the mechanism will vary with the school.  One idea I always wanted to do long long long ago when I was a student.......have a make out booth with your pamphlets.

The demand for the inclusion of the "none of the above" option in India is yet to evolve into a voting choice that can have wide-reaching implications on adult suffrage. The demand is premised on the question: Can the right to vote mean the right not to choose any of the candidates and yet be counted?\n\n The Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, does provide for situations where a person decides not to vote. Rule 49-O states that if a person decides not to record his vote, then the presiding officer shall make a remark to that effect against his name in the register of voters and obtain the latter's signature or thumb impression against such remark. But most presiding officers are unaware of this rule.\n\nMoreover, the rule flagrantly violates the principle of secret ballot, the contravention of which is an offence punishable with three months imprisonment by Section 128 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

I think they should have the right to voice their dissent, but can't they do it on a Saturday or a Sunday...With so many in the LAUSD unable to pass the exit exam to get the diploma...you'd think they'd want all the class time they could get.

I can't think of a single reason they shouldn't be allowed. It's a public place, and cameras are freely allowed in public places. Further, there is a reasonable expectation that the school would be able to prevent crimes lke vandalism, etc.

I am afraid not. I think if a no-confidence motion were to be put forward and passed it would have symbolic meaning only, but likely would have no effect.

YES- Absolutely. As individuals, the best thing you can do to change anything is vote.\nIf you don't vote, you don't get to complain.\nThanks so much for bringing up an important point.

Yes!  Schools can lock you in (or out) if there is any emergency situation going on inside or outside the area.  It is for your protection--and so that they don't get sued.

You can do a petition any time you want. Anyone can! But it just shows who supports something. If everyone signs something saying "We deserve a half day of school every Friday" no one needs to do anything about it. It is just a recommendation.

It depends on your school. My high school did that, but not all do. You need to talk to your school's administration.

Agree 100%. People who don't vote shouldn't complain. They had their chance to voice their opinion they same as everyone else by casting a vote. If they chose not to vote then they need to shut up!!!

this depends on your township, mine does not require it if we have voted in the past, i just need to sign in and my signiture is compared to the one that they have in their books (but I am registered.)  I am sure there are some not so small town voting polls that do require registration cards from everyone, and if you are not sure, I would advise that you bring your's.  This is an important election, I am sure you don't want to be turned away.
