The voting period for the Associated Student Government presidential election will be from Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. to Feb. 14 at 7 p.m., ASG decided at its Wednesday meeting.
The election will be held online and have a ranked choice voting system.
To be on the ballot, candidates must collect between 200 and 300 signatures between Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. and Feb 8 at 7 p.m. They may not publicly release their campaigns until Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. Candidates’ pre-campaign forms are due Feb. 4.
