Students aspiring to hold student government offices next year have until Friday of Finals Week to file paperwork declaring their candidacy.
The Election Packet, a document outlining available positions and procedures for running, is now available. Approved March 8 by the ASUO Constitution Court after it was initially rejected, the packet was under review by the court for 20 days, according to an ASUO press release.
“The elections board is disappointed that the Con Court took longer than expected to make a ruling,”
according to the press release.
The board will open the ASUO office on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to give students extra time to file. Candidates must file voter’s guide statements with their petitions.
Ballot measures must be submitted by 5 p.m. today.
Campaign managers must register by March 31, when a mandatory candidate meeting will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the EMU’s Ben Linder Room.
The primary election will be April 6-8 and the general election April 13-15.
Online campaigns for the ASUO Executive have already begun, with five tickets establishing Thefacebook groups to promote their platforms and enlist supporters.
The Election Packet is available at the ASUO office in Suite 4 of the EMU.
