Our Mission
As set forth in our bylaws, the Elections Commission is charged with conducting campus-wide elections for the student government. We also organize special elections as needed to address special referenda, and are available to student organizations as a nuetral third party to run officer elections.
For every election we organize, we strive to ensure fairness and equality. This means that we set strict limits on the means in which candidates for contested elections can campaign, restricting them to activities that are free of charge and readily available to every candidate. It is in this spirit that we provide each candidate with an equal amount of chalk and campaign posters.
It is also our job to advertise every election in advance so that everyone is aware of the election process in time to ready themselves should they desire to run for office.
We are always trying to improve our procedures to ensure that each election runs smoothly. If ever you have a comment or suggestion, please let us know.
