Election
Process:
Elections are held in
the spring and fall of each year. The election process starts with a
petition that requires thirty (30) signatures from students in either
one's college of study or one's class, depending on the position being
run for. Candidates running for Student Body President and Vice
President must complete a petition of two-hundred (200) signatures (one
petition for both both candidates.)
Once a petition is completed, it should be turned in to the SGA office for
verification. Candidates are also required to attend at least two SGA
meetings in order to be eligible for the election. Once a petition
is validated, a candidate may begin campaigning for his or her desired position.
Petition:
While elections are
held each semester, positions are often vacant throughout the year. In
order to fill one of these positions, one may petition on. The
petitioning process requires thirty (30) valid signatures from students either
within one's college of study or within one's class, depending on the
position being pursued. Once a petition is completed, it should be
turned in to the SGA office. Once a petition is verified, the candidate
must present it to the senate at one of the regularly scheduled SGA
meetings.
