SGA Update
Brandon Reedy
Issue date: 2/4/08 Section: Opinions
It is that time of year again. The yard signs will be everywhere, students will be discussing issues important to you, and people will be debating about who is better. That's right, it's SGA elections. It's time for you to determine what is most important to your college career and determine who will most effectively represent your views.
Interested in running? The Executive positions to be contested are the following: President, Executive Vice President/Speaker of the Senate, Vice President for Administration and Public Affairs, and Election Commissioner. The Senate seats will be broken down by colleges, undeclared students, and five at-large seats. For every 750 students, there will be one seat allotted to that particular college. The rules and regulations regarding qualifications and campaigning can be found in the SGA Constitution and SGA Electoral Act, which can both be accessed on the SGA Website.
As you may have seen in the fall, we have adopted a new style of voting. Since RaiderNet did not support a student voting system, we were forced to contract-out a voting system. You will be receiving emails with instructions on how to vote with a link to where you may cast your votes. This website has protected your email from outside spam, so any spam you may receive will not be linked to this system.
Election packets are available now. These packets must be turned into the SGA office no later than Feb. 5 at 4:00 p.m. Campaigning will start on Feb. 16. Debates among the Executive candidates will be in the State Farm Room of the BAS on Feb. 18 at 6:00 p.m. Elections will be February 26 through 28.
For more information, come by the SGA office (KUC 208) or visit our Website at www.mtsu.edu/~sga. Please feel free to contact us with regards to any questions you may have concerning the upcoming elections.
