Elections
Vote for Your Representatives
The Undergraduate Student Government hosts two primary elections throughout the year (with an additional election being held for first-year representatives). All students are encouraged to run, and we highly recommend that all students engage in voting for their representatives.
Vote in the Current Election
There are two important periods for each election: the nominations and the actual voting. Nominations are done through a Google Form, and any eligible undergraduate student can be nominated for any vacant position.
After nominations are finished, each of the nominees who've accepted their nomination meet with the USG Secretary to discuss the election and their campaign.
Finally, the voting election occurs on Involvement Link, where students can vote for the positions that they are a part of. There may be more candidates than positions vacant, so voters should be sure to read the descriptions for each candidate before making their selection.
E-Board and At-Large Elections
Occurring February 2026
The Executive Board runs the Undergraduate Student Government, and is responsible for some of the large operations on the body.
The election for E-Board members includes the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. There are no college / year requirements for a student to be elected into an Executive Board position.
The other portion of the election is the At-Large Representatives, members of the Undergraduate Student Government who represent all students.
Representative Elections
Occurring Late February 2026
Traditional representative elections, including college and class representatives, are held later in the Spring semester. Almost all positions are available to fill, and all members of the Student Assembly are encouraged to nominate themselves or others.
Each college is represented a proportional number of representatives based on their overall college size, and class representatives are split up equally.
First-Year and Residential Elections
Occurring September 2025
First-Year and Residential Elections represent a large portion of the Student Assembly, and thus should be properly represented on the Undergraduate Student Government. Anyone who resides in a residence hall or is a first-year is eligible to run!
