Elections

Fall 2024 First-Year and Transfer Elections

1.) Get Elected. Elections happen during both the Fall and Spring. Spring Elections are the main elections in which students vote in their Student Body President and Vice Presidents as well as most of the Senators. Voting occurs in April, but nominations begin in late January. Fall Elections are 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.

The First-Year and Transfer Elections Timeline for Fall 2024 can be found below, as well as the nomination link (feel free to nominate yourself or a friend!)

Nominations: open Oct. 7th- close Oct. 14th
Signature verification and campaign training: Oct. 14th- Oct. 18th
Campaign Week: Oct. 20th- Oct. 27th
Voting: Oct. 29th
Winners Announced: Oct. 30th
