  • How do I participate in SG elections?

    There are two routes to running for elections:

    If you choose to run for President/Vice President, you must run under a Political Party Organization (PPO). Once that is established you would complete a Candidate Declaration of Intent Form and submit it to the Student Government Rotunda. The Declaration of Intent is subject to approval by the Office of Elections.

    If you choose to run for a Senate Seat, you may run under a Political Party Organization or as an Independent candidate. Once you have done this you must also complete a Candidate Declaration of Intent form and submit it to the Student Government Rotunda. Should you be running with a PPO you must have your declaration of intent form signed by the Party Chair, whereas if you are running as an independent this signature is not required. Again the Candidate Declaration of Intent Form is Subject to the Office of Elections.

  • How do I register a Political Party Organization?
    Starting a Political Party Organization on your own is quite easy. All that is required are two, currently enrolled, students and a registration form. The form must be submitted to the Student Government Rotunda, and is subject to approval by the Office of Elections.
