Do you know your ASB elections are coming up? If not, listen up! The ASB elections will be held on Thursday, November 10. Here are 3 points to help get you ready for the election:
Who is eligible to vote?
First, ASB elections are for ASU students only. This means that ASBelections may not be voted on by family or friends who don’t attend ASU.
Secondly, you must have a minimum of 12 units, and your grades should show satisfactory academic progress to vote.
Lastly, an ASU email address is required to vote! If you do not receive emails from ASU, then please check with SSC (south student center) first-floor desk for assistance.”
You must have a minimum of 12 units, and your grades should show satisfactory academic progress to vote.
If this sounds like something at school, it’s because it is! ASB elections involve over $600,000 so they’re no minor deal here at the university. You’ll find out more about how much money we spend when voting packets arrive in your email, as well as how you can vote,
How do I register as a candidate or volunteer?
To be a volunteer, you must have a minimum of 12 units and have good academic standing with the university. You must have your class schedule available to show that you are enrolled in at least 12 or more units to be a candidate.
Some students forget that if they don’t receive voting emails from ASU, they need to contact SSC (south student center) on the first floor for assistance. Four candidates are running this year, and voting packets will arrive via email between February 20 and February 28.
The vote will be open from March 20 to March 23. As a reminder, it is not allowed for anyone to campaign within 100 feet of the voting booths in Marcia’s Cafeteria on campus or at any polling place designated by SSC. If you see campaigning around these areas, please report them as soon as possible so they can be removed per rule #13 of Chapter III: Campaign Rules & Regulations under section E: ‘No solicitation shall occur in an area designated as a Polling Place.’
What does ASB stand for anyway?
They manage over $50 000 in ASB funds every year to help support our school’s clubs/sports programs and many other things such as spirit week events and graduation ceremonies.
ASB stands for Associated Student Body, and as previously stated, they are elected as representatives of the student body.
In conclusion, ASB elections are an excellent opportunity to get involved as they help the school and yourself.
