Elections

Running for an election is one of the ways to get involved in USG.

The Elections Commissioner is responsible for administering USG elections. This year, Will Jones (william-a-jones@uiowa.edu) will serve as the Elections Commissioner. He will ensure that the USG elections are administered fairly. Will will be a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to run. Please reach out to him with any and all questions.
