'Tis the Season For Voting
While the rest of the country focuses on the republican primaries, all of Lyndon State College will move its focus to Student Government Association and their elections.
The SGA has two elections a year, one in the fall to elect the representatives, and one in the spring to elect the executive board positions.
The executive board positions include: president, executive vice president, administrative vice president, and financial controller.
The elections for the executive positions will be held for three days, starting April 16 at 10 a.m., to April 18 at 4 p.m. The elections will be held exclusively online this year.
For a candidate to become eligible for an executive position they need to have a SGA position for one semester. While to become eligible for president you need to have an SGA position for one year.
That's not all; any individual looking for an executive position needs to get a petition signed by 150 students, hold a GPA of 2.5 or above, and cannot be on any executive position for any club during the year.
The petitions are due by April 11 by 4 p.m.
Additionally the SGA will hold two forums for which students can go and ask any candidate any questions they would like to have answered.
These forums will be held in two locations, one in the Student Center and an additional one in the Stevens Dining Hall to help get the word out about the elections.
To also inform the students about the elections the SGA will get the put out flyers and a Facebook page.
All LSC students are encouraged to attend either forum to have a clear idea on who they believe should be the next SGA president and all other executive positions.
As for what students can do to help get the word out, current SGA President Nick Russo said via email "Students can help get the word out about the election by inviting their friends to the Facebook event."
