'''Ballot''' (previously PAC-MUN and Speech and Debate) is a TAMS [[Clubs|club]] dedicated to bringing Model UN, speech, debate, and political awareness to the TAMS community. We give students a stage to share their passions in [[TEDxYouth @ TAMS|TEDxtalks]], connect science with politics at [[SciMUN]], and work with [https://www.facebook.com/groups/untmio UNT's Model International Organization] (MIO) to organize the annual Model Arab League (MAL), and help students compete at competitions through our Speech and Debate teams.
