Once you’ve read this document, the next step is to fill out the representative nomination form if you haven’t already: https://go.umd.edu/SpecialNominationsGSG
Note that you can nominate either yourself or someone else, but if you nominate someone else, you must also include their contact information so that GSG can confirm whether they accept the
nomination or not. GSG also ask that you send this document to them when you nominate them, so that they can be as well informed as possible when deciding whether or not to accept your
nomination. The nomination period will last for two weeks, ending on October 10th at 3:00 pm EST. Please note that students will need to be signed in with their UMD (@umd.edu) email account to fill out the nomination form. If for some reason you cannot use your @umd.edu account, please contact gsg-elections@umd.edu directly so they can troubleshoot.
If you have any questions about this document or elections in general, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Elections Committee team at gsg-elections@umd.edu. All validated nominees will be included on the emailed ballots that will be sent out shortly after the nomination form closes on October 10th at 3:00 pm. The sending of ballots will mark the beginning of the voting stage of the special election, which will likewise last for two weeks.
