                                                                How Do I Vote?

                                                                You can vote from the comfort of your computer here at www.dsuelections.ca from 8:00 AM on Tuesday, February 14th until 6:00 PM on Thursday, February 16th. We will place the link here once the polls open.

                                                                Alternatively, we will have a number of polling stations set up around campus equipped with laptops for your voting convenience. Keep an eye out for members of the "Vote Squad" wandering around with mobile polling stations!

                                                                To see a list of polling stations and hours, click HERE.  

                                                                What Do I Need to Vote?

                                                                All you need to know is your date of birth and Dalhousie B00 number! It takes no time at all to vote in the DSU Elections.

                                                                How Does the DSU Determine The Winners?

                                                                The DSU Elections uses a PREFERENTIAL BALLOT. The voter is asked to rank the candidates in order of preference in situations where there is more than one person running for a contested position. To complete a preferential ballot, rank the candidates according to your preference, from first to last. Should you wish, you only need to rank those candidates for whom you have a preference; you may choose to only enter your first choice or first and second, etc.

                                                                You are NOT permitted to enter non-sequential choices - for example, you are not allowed to rank one candidate 1st and another 4th and leave ranks 2 and 3 blank.

                                                                In situations where there is only one person running, or as many people running as there are positions (as in the case of the Senate and Board of Governors Reps) you will indicate a simple 'Yes' or 'No'.
