Student Government has officially opened applications for its second general election after consolidation.
Students will have the opportunity to run for any campus or university-wide position.
Campus positions up for election include governor, lieutenant governor and all nine seats on the Campus Council. University-wide positions up for election include president, vice president and all nine Senate seats allocated to the St. Petersburg campus.
The nine-member Campus Council is primarily responsible for making local Activity and Service (A&S) fee allocation recommendations, which are approved by the university-wide Activity and Service Recommendation Committee.
Governors are responsible for overseeing local SG operations and nominating local executive and judicial positions. The lieutenant governor assists the governor in their duties.
The university-wide Senate is responsible for voting on university-wide legislation and allocating A&S funds.
The student body president and vice president represent all campuses, and are primarily responsible for federal executive appointments and signing university-wide legislation.
Applications for all positions are due Feb. 5 and the general election will be held March 8-11.
Students interested in applying can contact the university-wide supervisor of elections, Shemar McKoy, at shemarmckoy@usf.edu or the St. Petersburg supervisor of elections, Savannah Carr, at savannahc4@usf.edu.
