ASUC - Elections Council

The ASUC Elections Council administers the ASUC Elections. Each year the ASUC holds a regular election to choose its five Executive Officers and twenty-one members of the Senate. All members of the Association, that is all undergraduate and graduate students at UC Berkeley, can vote. Regular elections are held the second week following the Spring Break in early April. Students vote using the Ranked Choice System which guarantees diverse and proportional elections results. Furthermore, students can vote on referendum propositions. Referendum propositions can be placed on the ballot by the ASUC Senate, Graduate Assembly, or a petition of the student body. Lastly, special elections can occur to recall officials or in some other limited circumstances.
