Whether you are a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, Election rewards viewers who know what to look for. Rated 6.9/10 from 1,189 viewers, it lands as a solid entry in the genre. Read on for the full plot overview, the cast and crew, critical reception, and answers to the questions fans ask most.
Election plot and story overview
The narrative of Election unfolds like this: Tracy Flick is running unopposed for this year’s high school student election. But Jim McAllister has a different plan. Partly to establish a more democratic election, and partly to satisfy some deep personal anger toward Tracy, Jim talks football player Paul Metzler to run for president as well.
What sets it apart is how it treats its comedy and drama elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "Reading. Writing. Revenge." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
