Members shall nominate themselves or fellow members for the posts of GSA Officers, with participation limited to new GSA members who have voting privileges. Statements must be compiled by the Program Coordinator and forwarded to all members one week before the election date. Additional nominations can be made by the floor at this time. Nominations need not be seconded. New nominees will be allowed a 3-4 minute introduction.
All nominees have to be present at the meeting to be eligible for nomination.
Pre-declared nominees will be considered eligible in absentia only if they explain to the GSA in writing the valid reason for their absence. C. Voting Once nominations for an office are closed, voting will take place by ballot, irrespective of the number of nominees. In the event of three or more nominees, balloting will be repeated with only the top two contestants being retained. In the event of a tie vote, the nominees may restate their positions, open to debate.
