Amendment to Article VI: Elections

1. General Rules

   1. The incumbent SGA President or Vice President are responsible for coordinating all elections and scheduling all election events.

   2. President and Vice President, Treasurer, and Class President elections will take place two weeks before spring break while Dorm President and Class President elections will take place during the third full week of the fall semester.

   3. Campaigning must not begin before the date and time designated by the incumbent President and Vice President and may continue throughout the voting period.

   4. Additionally, for any SGA election there shall be no campaigning in academic buildings, negative campaigning, or candidates coercing students to vote for them (i.e. standing behind students while they are voting or forcing a laptop on students and asking them to vote). Any of these actions will result in automatic disqualification from the election.

   5. All voting must occur online and the voting window must be 48 hours. In order to win any election a candidate must have a majority of the votes cast. In the event that no candidate wins a majority in an election a run-off will take place between the two tickets with the most votes.

   6. There must always be a write-in option in the initial voting round but never in the run-off.
