Once again, the Students’ Association is providing you with an advanced online poll to ensure you are are able to easily exercise your right to vote.

Important Information:

• Please note that you will be asked to provide your name and student identification number when you access your online ballot. This information will be used only to verify your eligibility to vote.

• Once you’ve cast your ballot, your name will be crossed off our voter master list.

• Once your eligibility to vote has been confirmed, all references to your identity will be removed from the ballot.

• The Chief Returning Officer (Shauna Hunter) supervises the vote independently of the Association. Only he or his designate(s) may verify your eligibility to vote. The confidentiality of your vote is assured by this process.
