First-Year Election

During each fall semester, two representatives from the incoming class of undergraduate first-year students are elected to serve on Student Government via the First-Year Election. The First-Year Election is a unique opportunity for first-year students to learn about the UT Austin community, make connections across campus, serve our fellow longhorns, and engage in productive dialog regarding UT Austin. Whether you run for an elected position, campaign for someone who does, or share your voice through your vote, the First-Year Election process is a chance first-year students to exemplify our university tagline and show that what starts here changes the world.

The 2024 First-Year Election took place on September 26, 2024. View the 2024 First Year Election Results.

Campus-Wide Election

During each spring semester, many different positions open up for campus leadership opportunities. Positions become available in the Graduate Student Assembly, Student Government, Texas Student Media, University Co-op, and the University Unions. These opportunities are fulfilled by students who file to become candidates and participate in the Campus-Wide Election. The campus-wide election is an important opportunity for all students to make connections across campus, serve our fellow longhorns, and engage in productive dialog about the university we call home. Whether you run for an elected position, campaign for someone who does, or share your voice through your vote, the entire campus-wide election process is a chance for all of us to exemplify our university tagline and show that what starts here changes the world.

The spring 2023 Campus-Wide Election took place on February 27-28, 2023. Visit the Student Elections Archives page to view previous results.
