Ravenclaw Prefect Election

The Ravenclaw Prefect Election is a ceremony that takes place the last week of April. The current 3rd and 4th year elects a male and a female 4th year that will serve as prefect the upcoming school year. They will continue to serve as prefects in their 6th and 7th year. Democracy was one of Rowena Ravenclaw's virtues and the 5th year Ravenclaw prefects have been elected ever since. There is no limit to the number of candidates, but only two prefects can be elected. This was not the case in the school years 1980-1989, where 4 Prefects from each house was chosen.
