Dear Community,
Due to COVID-19, we will be hosting this year's elections via BlueJeans on April 2nd, 2020 at 6PM (EDT). Through this platform, all community members will be able to participate and ask questions as if it were happening in-person. We will also be providing live video streaming of elections to our social media pages. Additional details will be announced tomorrow, March 31st.
NOMINATE A PEER OR YOURSELF HERE!
If you would like to run in BSU elections:
Candidates must be nominated by themselves or their peers.
In order to accept your nomination, the candidate must complete the Elections Eligibility Chart by Wednesday, April 1st, 2020 at 11:59PM.
Upon nomination, candidates will be notified via email.
Only nominated students who have attended half of all BSU programming are eligible to run for an executive board position.
During elections, candidates will be given time to explain why they are qualified for the position and respond to questions posed by community members in attendance.
Please see the attached Elections Informational Slides and BSU Constitution for descriptions of the positions.
If you would like to vote in BSU elections: All community members who have attended and signed in at least five (5) BSU events, mass meetings or executive board meetings this academic school year, according to the Secretary's records, are eligible to vote in the elections. Active members will receive a link to vote for E6 candidates during elections.
Each nominated candidate will receive 120 seconds (2 minutes) to explain to the community why they deserve to be elected to the position. There will then be a 10-15 minute Q&A portion in which Brianna Eccleston (current Speaker) and Qwantayvious Stiggers (current Peace Officer) will have generic questions for nominees to answer before opening the floor to community members.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact us via e-mail.
Peace, Love and Solidarity,
The BSU
