'''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. Our goal is to help students develop skills in logical thinking, public speaking, and civic discourse which will empower them to be informed and capable leaders of the future in any career. | '''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.
