I cannot attend the mandatory candidate meeting on February 3rd. Can I still run for a position?
YES, but you must contact the Student Election Commission PRIOR to the meeting (IllinoisSEC@gmail.com) to let them know you are unable to attend for a legitimate reason, schedule a make-up time to meet with the SEC co-chairs, and make sure your Election Packet is still turned in on time by Tuesday, February 17 at 5:00pm at the Illini Union Main Desk. Legitimate reasons for being unable to attend the mandatory candidate meeting include having class and other similar events evaluated at the discretion of the Commission. Please contact the SEC as soon as possible if you miss the meeting due to an unforeseen emergency that causes you to miss the meeting without notifying the Commission beforehand.
