See above for the linked tracker. The spreadsheet will be updated at least once a day by the Elections Committee, so be sure to check on it to monitor your progress. Timely completion of all the required forms listed above and 50 peer nominations will make you an official candidate. This status will be indicated in the tracker spreadsheet.

Student Body President and Student Body Vice President candidates will be voted on externally by the University’s undergraduate student body population. Voting will be conducted through a digital form during the external voting period listed in the timeline above.

All other candidates will be voted on by current USGA voting members at election nights during the internal voting period listed in the timeline above. Candidates will receive more information from the Elections Committee via email closer to the internal voting period.

You will be assigned an election night and a time slot via email. In front of current USGA voting members, you will give your speech (1 minute and 30 seconds max) and participate in a Q&A (2 minutes max). Afterwards, you are free to leave and you can expect to receive an email with the result of your election within 24 hours.

All questions should be sent to the Elections Committee at usgaelections@drexel.edu. Current USGA members who are not on the Elections Committee are prohibited from answering candidates’ questions.
