Election Cycle

Spring
The main election in which students vote in their Student Body President, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Vice President of Student Affairs, Academic Senators and Advocacy Senators. Voting occurs in April, but nominations begin in late January.
Fall
Specifically for First-Year and Transfer Students because these populations generally do not get to campus until the fall semester and they are elected in early October.

Debates

The IEC will host two debates this spring: the formal debate and the town hall debate. Students are encouraged to submit a question for the town hall.
