ÌýHow to vote

The ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵSG spring election will be held April 3–7. ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵSG will provide a link to all students via email, social media and newsletters when voting opens.Ìý

To ensure the voting process is fair and accurate, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵSG will use ranked choice voting for tri-executive and legislative positions. This gives voters the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. This makes it possible to elect candidates by majority vote without the need for a separate run-off election.
