University Election Commission

The University Election Commission "sponsors and runs" student elections at SVSU, according to the Student Association Charter.

The commission is comprised of an Election Commission Advisor as well as three-to-five students who serve as commissioners. The Election Commission Advisor is appointed by the SVSU Vice President of Student Affairs for a term of three academic years, beginning with the first day of the summer semester. The commissioners are appointed by the Election Commission Advisor from nominees proposed by the Student Association President and the SVSU Vice President of Student Affairs.

Commissioners serve two year terms beginning on the first day of the fall semester. They serve until graduation, resignation, or until they no longer meet eligibility criteria. In order to be eligible to serve on the commission, SVSU students must maintain at least 6 credits as well as, at least, a 2.25 cumulative grade point average.
