CASC State Council Elections 2025 – Important Updates & Voter Registration


We are excited to announce updates to the CASC State Council Elections process for 2025! If you are a current high school student in California, you are invited to register as a voter for the upcoming CASC State Council President and Vice President Elections, taking place from February 11th – February 24th, 2025.


Our Goals for the 2025 Elections:

  • Increase accessibility for candidates and voters across California.

  • Ensure voter representation from each CASC Region.

  • Enhance fairness and transparency in the elections process.


Key Changes to the Elections Process:

  • Independent Elections: This year, elections will be held separately from YASC (which has been canceled). Instead, the process will take place via Zoom sessions and electronic voting, eliminating the need for in-person attendance.

  • No Participation Fees: There will be no cost to run as a candidate or vote in the election.

  • Regional Vote Distribution:

    • A set number of votes will be allocated to each CASC Region and its schools.

    • Distribution will be based on population to ensure equal representation for all participating schools.


Get Involved:

We encourage you to share this opportunity with friends! These updates aim to make CASC Elections more accessible and inclusive for all. We look forward to seeing you participate!

All students should be able to participate, regardless of their financial situations. Schools are responsible for the registration costs, although some students do cover their own fees. We understand that time is limited, and we will work with you to ensure proper processing of payments.

Many community groups will also be interested in sponsoring your work at the state level. Please refer to this fundraising guide used by delegates to obtain funding or check out a draft sponsorship letter. Feel free to get in touch with kelly.wachowicz@casc.net if you would like help or guidance.​

Have Questions?

  • For over 70 years, the California Association of Student Councils has been the state’s student-run organization focusing on youth leadership. CASC serves student councils and their advisors, as well as all other young leaders and students who want to make a difference in their community. Through peer-to-peer leadership training and conferences, CASC provides students and advisors the opportunity to develop leadership skills, network with other students and advisors, and become empowered. CASC also lobbies for students and better schools at the state and local levels.​

  • There are none! We are proud to have an extremely diverse group of students and advisors participate in our programs. Some come to our programs with years of leadership experience and extracurricular activities while others come to our programs with none. Everyone learns and grows from our programs in different ways. Anybody who wishes to develop their leadership skills is welcome to join our program.

  • You can get involved in a number of ways:

    1. Attend a statewide CASC program – summer camp, SABE, SABLE, or YASC

    2. Attend a region conference with your ASB or other student leaders

    3. Contact your local region president and get involved with your region

    4. Become a part of the governing body of CASC by applying for state council

  • You can check out our programs directory by clicking on the "PROGRAMS" tab!

  • CASC is unique from other organizations in a variety of ways:

    1. Peer-to-Peer Training: Rather than adults teaching curriculum and teambuilding to students, at CASC events highly-trained students lead most of the activities.

    2. CASC conferences focus on teaching students HOW to do things rather than WHAT to do. We provide skills and knowledge that will go farther than a dance theme or fundraising idea. The skills and curriculum CASC encourages students to think critically and teaches students how to apply curriculum to any and every part of their lives.

    3. CASC recognizes and supports the power of youth: This is an organization run FOR students BY students to ensure that all the needs of students are heard and met. We have high school and college students voting and making decisions alongside adults on the Board of Directors.

  • Check out our guide to attend a program for free! It should answer all of your questions as well as provide instructions on how to acquire scholarships from either CASC or local organizations! If you have further questions, contact the CASC Office or the State Development Director.

  • Whether you are a current student, alumni, parent, or any other stakeholder of the organization, you can help send students to CASC conferences to gain a life-changing experience. Any amount, small or big, will help students obtain a scholarship to attend programs. Donate today!

  • Regions are divided into twelve different areas of California, covering all 58 counties. It is based on your school location and you can find out your region by clicking on the 'Regions' tab.
