The Elections Administration Committee has created an ASUW Elections Information Packet to serve as a resource for candidates, the proponents or opponents of ballot measures, their affiliates, and any other students interested in ASUW Elections. This packet includes information such as the 2013 Elections Calendar of Events, the Elections Policies and Procedures, an abridged copy of ASUW governing documents, policy guides, and important forms for candidates and ballot measures. Since the publication of this packet, we have received an updated version of the Residence Hall Solicitation Policy. This new policy will be enforced during the 2013 ASUW Elections.

ASUW BOARD OF DIRECTORS BYLAWS - 

On March 7, 2013, the ASUW Board of Directors passed Board Bill 1.12 to amend the job descriptions for the eight elected positions on the Board of Directors. These amendments also resulted in the creation of a new at-large position on the Board, the Director of Service and Partnerships.

The new job descriptions for the Board of Directors can be found in Article I of the updated ASUW Board of Director Bylaws. A visual representation of these changes can also be found on this ASUW Organizational Chart.

CAMPAIGNING 101 GUIDE -

In order to better serve students who are unfamiliar with the elections process, the Elections Administration Committee has created a Campaigning 101 Guide. This document can be used as an additional resource to learn more about ASUW Elections.

The Elections Administration Committee is holding two information sessions to educate students about the eight elected positions on the Board of Directors and provide a Campaigning 101 guide for potential candidates.

The sessions will be held on March 4 from 4-5PM in HUB 334 and on March 6 from 6-7PM in HUB 106.

If you have any questions, please email Maxine Sugarman at asuwvote@uw.edu
