SCC Elections

An Overview of Senate Elections

The Senate of College Councils elects its President and Vice President each spring. Candidates are nominated at an Assembly meeting in February and must be current SCC members in good academic standing. Elections are overseen by an independent Election Committee, which approves campaign materials, enforces election rules, and handles complaints. At the election meeting, candidates address the Assembly and answer questions before Senate members vote. A candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote to win. The incoming President and Vice President take office in April.
