Student Government Special Election

In accordance with the Student Government (SG) Constitution, each April, SG may call a special election to assess student opinion on any pending action over which Student Government has authority. The purpose of the spring 2024 special election is to ratify amendments to the SG Constitution and SG Code of Rules and Procedures which were passed by the 117th SG Assembly on Tuesday, March 26th. Sec. 9.1 of the SG Constitution details the approval process for making amendments to all SG governing documents which requires ratification of proposed amendments by a simple majority vote of UT student body. Thus the student body is invited to cast their vote in this years special election taking place on Monday, April 22, 2024.

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 2024 Campus-Wide Election took place on February 26-27, 2024. Visit the Student Elections Archives page to view previous results.
