The list of students running for Students’ Council and General Faculties Council has been announced. Campaigning began on March 13, and voting will take place on March 20 and 21. A total of 26 candidates are running this year. However, many of the faculties have no students vying for their seats. All undergraduates at the University of Alberta can vote in this election.

Students’ Council 

Students’ Council consists of 33 student councillors representing 15 faculties, as well as the five SU executives and the Undergraduate Board of Governors Representative. A councillor’s duty is to consult and represent their constituents while guiding the direction of the Students’ Union as a whole. Councillors meet every second Tuesday to vote on bylaws and policies such as those that determine the Students’ Union’s stance on tuition, deferred maintenance, and other issues. Councillors also work with various committees and boards.
