If you are interested in running for the executive council please email PsychSoc at uwpsychsoc@gmail.com with the position you are interested in and a platform (reason why you want to be an executive, what you would like to change, add or bring to the society and any other points you feel are important).

A voting list will be complied by Monday, March 29th. No late submissions will be accepted.

Campaigning can begin as early as March 17th. Candidates are encouraged to advertise via posters, the internet and word of mouth. Posters must be approved by the ASU before they can be posted. Candidates must take down their own posters after the elections by April 2nd.

Voting will take place on March 31st in AL, from 9 am to 4 pm. There will be a booth setup by the ASU office and manned by volunteers from PsychSoc. Voting is open to all Psychology undergrads. However, you are required to show your Watcard before casting your ballot, so please have it with you.

• Any Psychology undergrad can run for an executive position; no experience necessary.
• Candidates can run for multiple positions; however elected members can only hold one position and so candidates must decide an order of preference before campaigning.
