Meet the Team!<\/h1>\n

The Student Elections Commission (SEC) is an independent student-led entity. The commission\u2019s purpose is to administer elections for the Boston University Student Union as well as elections for those College governments that wish to leverage the SEC as a supporting organization. The SEC accepts petitions from students wishing to run for office, maintains guidelines surrounding candidates\u2019 campaign processes, oversees candidates to ensure adherence to the Elections Code and university policy, works with the appropriate offices to maintain the online voting system, promotes and executes a fair election cycle, and publishes the results of the elections. It is the commission\u2019s continuing goal to provide the Boston University Student Body with just and fair Student Government Elections and to promote increased student participation in every aspect of the election.<\/p>\n
