Who oversees SGA Elections?
The SGA Election Board is in charge of running the election for all elected offices and ensuring election policies. It is comprised of seven neutral students.
They are responsible for making decisions that create a fair election that is open to all undergraduates. During the election season, the body verifies that candidates meet eligibility requirements, host candidate campaigning events, and hear complaints regarding election rule violations.
