Eligibility is determined by the election creator — typically based on department, member status, or membership tier. You will only see elections for which you are eligible. If you believe you should be eligible for an election and are not listed, contact your department representative or administrator.
Upcoming Elections
Elections scheduled for the future appear in the Upcoming tab of your dashboard. You can see the title, start date, and candidate count. You cannot vote until the election opens.
