One of the best ways to have a lasting impact at UVU is to run for a student government position with UVUSA. These student government positions represent the student voice across campus as they assess, express, and address student issues to campus administration. They develop and promote campus programming, strive to educate students about resources available to them, and advocate for student needs.

of a candidate. Grievances will be reviewed by the Elections Committee and any necessary
penalties will be issued. Please note that there is not a prescribed rubric in addressing

对于3名或以上候选人的职位，选举将通过排名选择投票进行。 This method allows voters to rank the candidates running for office in order of their preference. If a candidate receives the majority of first choices (51%), then they win the election.
If no candidate gets a simple majority, then the candidate with the least amount of first choice votes will be removed from the race; voters who ranked a candidate as their first choice will then be represented by their second choice and so on until a majority vote is reached.
这一过程消除了初选的需要。 If 2 or less candidates are running for a position, elections will be done by a simple majority vote.
