The list of candidates for the 2020 UMSU general elections have been announced.
Only one incumbent executive will be seeking re-election — sitting vice-president student life Jelynn Dela Cruz will be running for president with a new slate.
Several community representative nominees are running unopposed, and both the mature students’ representative and the students living with disabilities’ representative positions remain vacant.
Campaigning will begin Feb. 24 following reading week and voting will run from March 4-5. Unlike last year, all voting will take place online. Students will be able to cast their ballots at umsu.simplyvoting.com.
