Per the election rules, all potential candidates must submit an Authorization of Grade Disclosure form, a written statement of interests, and fulfill an initial signature requirement.
In light of the covid-19 pandemic, the signature requirement will be virtual and met by having students sign for candidates by using Outlook forms. This initial signature requirement is not a vote for the candidate, but rather a threshold requirement that each SBA candidate must attain to enter the election.
The form should be shared by potential candidates and filled out by current students. On the form, students may select candidates that the student feels are fit to run, encouraging and supporting their classmates as they enter the election!
Please read the above linked rules and election documents carefully, all of which are provided for easy download on the SBA TWEN page under SBA Materials > Election Documents > SBA General Election 2021.
Should you have any questions please reach out to the Election Commissioner Alexxas Johnson, Alexxas.J@memphis.edu or President Rachel Jackson, rrjcksn2@memphis.edu.
