The nominees presented to you are those who Submitted a complete application, on time, and are verified as meeting the requirements to serve as an officer in a UCR Student organization.  No application was rejected outright.  non-sensitive data from the election will be made public if it can be done without compromising the privacy of the voters.


Some things to consider:

-Members  may vote only ONCE.
-Each member may only vote once for any one candidate, so if you choose person A for treasurer, you may not vote for them again for any other position.
