Eligibility
All graduate students in EECS (including MEng), people admitted to
EECS graduate programs, and their alumni and alumnae are eligible to run
for any GSA Officer
position, except as specified in Sections IV-1 and IV-3
of the
Constitution of the EECS GSA.
Nomination Procedure
- Nominations will be accepted beginning Monday, October 29, 2007.
- Candidates must secure a nomination in order to participate in an
election for an Officer position. A nomination consists of written
messages (e-mail included) to the Board of Advisors
(eecs-gsa-advisors) signed by
at least two EECS graduate students, people admitted to
EECS graduate programs, or their alumni and alumnae,
where all such signatures do not include the nominee.
- Candidates must formally accept a nomination, either orally at a General
Body Meeting or in writing, in order to verify their desire to run for an
Officer position. As soon as possible after a candidate accepts his or
her nomination, the Secretary shall be responsible for providing all
relevant information about the candidate on the Website.
- Nominations for all Officer positions shall close 24 hours prior to the
elections unless fewer than three nominations have been accepted for an
Officer
position by that time, in which case nominations for that position shall
remain open until the election. At this point, a nomination shall
consist of a motion by any Member, including the nominee himself or
herself, which is seconded by another Member. Such nominations shall
require the consent of the nominee to be considered valid.
Proxy Campaigns
Nominees who cannot be present at the election shall, by a written
statement sent to the Advisors (eecs-gsa-advisors), appoint
someone to act on their behalf at the election.

Eligibility
All graduate students in EECS (including MEng), people admitted to
EECS graduate programs, and their alumni and alumnae are eligible to
vote in the election.
Ballot Counting Method
The EECS GSA uses the instant runoff voting system, a form of
preferential
voting, for the election
of each office. For the exact algorithm, please
refer to Article IV of the
By-Laws of the EECS GSA
Absentee Voting
Members who cannot be present at the election and want to vote shall,
by a written statement sent to the Advisors (eecs-gsa-advisors),
either appoint someone to
vote on their behalf at the election or state their voting preferences.
Order of Offices
Elections shall proceed in the following order: Co-Presidents, Vice
Presidents, and Treasurer. The order within the Vice Presidents will
be determined by the presiding officer of the election after
consulting with the candidates. Any unsuccessful
candidate may run for one of the remaining positions without any further
nomination procedure. In the event that no one is nominated for a
position, the position shall remain vacant.
