SBA Election Poll

Election, WEEK!

Students can now vote to select the 2016-2017 Student Bar Association Executive Board and Class Representatives. Remember, all students are automatically members of the Student Bar Association; therefore it is important that you are all involved in the process of choosing your class representatives and executive board.

The final poll will open on Monday, April 18th at 8 a.m. and close on Thursday, April 21st at 5 p.m. The person with the most votes for each position will win. Each elected individual will receive an email notification, and his or her name will be displayed on the announcement blog. Survey results will include the IP addresses of respondents.

**Unfortunately, we had to postpone the part-time election process due to a lack of nominations. Another email will be sent out next week explaining how the process will resume.

Again, this link will remain open until Thursday, April 21st at 5 p.m., and it will also be distributed via org sync.
