Trivia
Chris Klein's debut film. He was a student at Millard West High School in Omaha when he was discovered by director Alexander Payne while looking for a school to use for filming (another one was eventually used). Although other actors auditioned for Paul, Klein stuck in Payne's mind.

Errores
The nickname of the mythical Nebraska high school is the Wolverines. However, when the results of the election are announced at the assembly, the name Monarchs clearly appears on the side of the gym floor. This is the nickname of Papillion-La Vista (Nebraska) High School where many of the scenes were shot.

Citas
Tammy Metzler: [narrating] It's not like I'm a lesbian or anything. I'm attracted to the person. It's just that all the people I've been attracted to happen to be girls.

7/10

One of the most pleasurable aspects of the film is its total lack of sentimentality

High-school comedies became popular because the milieu was familiar to a large proportion of the film-going audience But the best examples of the genre in the 1980s and 1990s satirized not only the constant battle of the sexes, but other elements in American life The frequent struggles between jocks and nerds were a kind of microcosm of the class difference which is supposed not to exist in the United States

In "Election," one of the best examples of this popular genre, much of the humor is at the expense of the 'democratic' process The film's guiding insight is that in practice democracy reduces to a popularity contest, in which dirty tricks are the norm

Tracy is a Nebraskan high-school blonde who is brilliant and hard-working She is standing for election as student president Played by Reese Witherspoon, Tracy is bright and intolerant, eaten up by ambition and her ruthless determination to win She is regarded with disgust by a career teacher and student adviser, Jim McAllister, for her self-righteousness, and also for her role in the dismissal of his fellow teacher Dave after a sex scandal Jim encourages student football star Paul to stand against Tracy
