SRA general election campaigns begin

Campaigns to be on next year's Student Representative Assembly of the McMaster Students Union began Wednesday morning. Out of nine academic divisions, six will have elections, with candidates for Business, Kinesiology and Nursing winning seats by acclamation. In the contested divisions, 49 candidates will compete for a total of 25 seats. Business and Kinesiology still have one seat each for which no one is running.

Campaigning runs from March 6 at 9 a.m. to March 14 at 5 p.m. Online voting will run during the final three days of campaigning. Students can vote only for the election in their own academic division.

The one-year term on the Assembly for successful candidates will begin on April 7, the meeting at which the SRA will elect next year's MSU vice presidents.
