Zoey 101 season 2 episode 3, titled "Election," follows Zoey Brooks and her friends as they prepare to run for class president. Zoey is excited to run because she believes that she can make a positive change for the students at PCA. However, her campaign quickly becomes overshadowed by her rival, Lonnie, who is determined to win at any cost.
Zoey's friends help her with her campaign by creating posters and coming up with slogans. Chase Matthews, Zoey's best friend, even writes a rap song to promote her campaign. Meanwhile, Lonnie's campaign manager, Logan Reese, comes up with a plan to sabotage Zoey's campaign. Logan convinces her to change her slogan to "More Lockers, More Books" which he believes will win her more votes.
At the first debate between the two candidates, Zoey speaks passionately about changing the menu in the school cafeteria to include healthier options. However, when it's Lonnie's turn to speak, she simply repeats her slogan and wins over the crowd with her charisma. Zoey realizes that she needs to step up her game if she wants to win the election.
Zoey and her friends come up with a plan to hold a schoolwide bake sale to raise money for her campaign. They bake cookies, brownies, and cakes and decorate the school with campaign posters. When Lonnie sees the enthusiastic support for Zoey's campaign, she becomes worried and comes up with a plan to steal Zoey's idea. She announces that if she is elected, she will also hold a bake sale to raise money for the school.
On the day of the election, it's a close race between the two candidates. Zoey gives a heartfelt speech about her commitment to making a positive change at PCA. Lonnie responds with a speech repeating her slogan and promising more lockers and books. The election is left up to the student body to decide.
The next day, it is announced that Zoey has won the election by a slim margin. Her friends cheer for her while Lonnie and Logan sulk in defeat. Zoey is excited to get to work on making the changes she promised during her campaign.
Overall, Zoey 101 season 2 episode 3, "Election," is a fun and lighthearted episode about the importance of standing up for what you believe in and fighting for positive change. The episode features strong performances from the cast, particularly Jamie Lynn Spears as Zoey Brooks and Victoria Justice as her rival, Lonnie.
