The MSCSA Election policy has been adopted by the MSCSA Governing Council and the MSCSA General Assembly. The MSCSA Election Policy shall outline the procedures for ALL official MSCSA elections and Candidate Meet-n-Greet sessions. Any exceptions to these procedures shall only be allowed by a 2/3 vote of the MSCSA Governing Council prior to the start of the election process.

The Steering Committee and Cabinet shall be the official election judges consistent with this policy and the MSCSA bylaws and the MSCSA Staff shall be the official election moderators and shall be responsible for counting all ballots, which shall be verified by at least one of the official election moderators.

The MSCSA Staff, under the direction of the Executive Director, will preside as election moderators over the election processes of all Cabinet members, Student-At-Large members, and their respective Alternates as stated in the MSCSA Bylaws.

The election judges shall serve during all elections consistent with the MSCSA Bylaws, except for Presidents’ Group Chair & Vice-Chair and Regional Officer elections, which shall be conducted according to their Bylaws. Each of these groups may request the assistance of election moderators or judges during elections not being held by the moderators and judges.

Once the Steering Committee is formed, the President may charge the Steering Committee to serve as the election judges over which the Cabinet may generally serve at his/her discretion.
