It’s election time again.

Brock students are set to hit the polls in the 2015 Brock University Students’ Union election.

Jimmy Norman, BUSU Chief Returning Officer, is hoping for a good response but is also realistic in the process.

“From a student representation perspective, we would love to have every single student at Brock cast their ballot and have their voice heard,” explained Norman.

“However, the typical voter turnout for the February Executive Elections is between 20 to 30 per cent of the student body. Throughout the election, we are going to have our marketing team out in full force to ensure students are aware of the positions, duties, and how to vote. We will also have polling stations set up around the school on the three polling days.”

Voting runs from Feb. 10-12, and includes a total of 17 candidates for the following positions:

• President
• Vice President, Finance and Administration
• Vice President, External Affairs
• Vice President, Student Services
• Board of Directors (1 Year, 2 Years)

“Each undergraduate student will receive an email to their Brock email that will contain a secure, unique link to their ballot,” Norman said.  “As stated before, we will also have polling stations set up in case students have questions”

There are no referendum questions on this year’s ballot.
