15 Student Council Campaign Poster Ideas

In 7th grade, Lainey ran for an office on her school’s Student Council…and won! (Obviously, I’m so proud of her!)

Her favorite part of campaigning was making Student Council campaign signs. She looked up slogans and ideas. And after a quick trip to the craft aisle at the store, she made posters all by herself.

(Lyvi ran for Student Council the next year, you can see her campaign signs in this post: 21 More Student Council Poster Ideas.)

I didn’t realize that school campaign signs have gotten so fancy since I left school. After looking online, it’s obvious that some mamas bust out their Cricuts and create some really awesome designs!

Here are some of the best ones I found on Pinterest!

Lainey’s Signs

These were 2 of the signs that Lainey made during her campaign. Her favorite ones were based on the ‘old’ movies/shows that she likes.

Don’t Blow It

This adorable poster was inspired by the classic children’s candy – Blow Pops!

I Don’t Run Very Often

I love the sarcasm in this one: “I don’t run very often, but when I do it’s for President!”

Got Your Back

The play on words and illustration on this one is terrific: “Vote ______: She’s got your back!”

Pop Culture

So many different pop culture references on these student council campaign signs. You have SpongeBob, Wordle, Taylor Swift, and Stranger Things!

This vision chart campaign sign idea is so clever! “If you can read this, vote for _____!”

Be a Good Sport

Grey’s Anatomy

I LOVE this Grey’s Anatomy student council campaign poster! “Pick me. Choose me. Vote me.” Obviously, you need to add your name and the office you’re running for, though!

Flip Flop

This campaign poster had dad joke vibes, but I love it! “Vote ____! Anyone else is a flop.”

To-Do List

This morning’s to do list: wake up, be awesome, and vote for ____! Give your voters a call to action!

Drinks On Me

Lainey made a sign like this, too, but we didn’t get a picture of it. Just make sure to hang the poster over the water fountain; otherwise, it doesn’t make much sense.

Make the Right Moove

This cow campaign poster is too cute: “Make the right moove, vote _____.” Honestly, who doesn’t love cows?

These Student Council campaign sign ideas are great for middle schoolers. I hope that they help you get elected!
