Please read carefully before submitting your nomination and/or participating in the elections process.
ELECTION GUIDELINES
Nominations for executive and representative positions can be made from any aviation student (Science and Aviation, Geography and Aviation, or Aviation Specialization - GEM).
The successful candidate will be the one with the most votes. In the case of a candidate winning two positions, the candidate will choose their preferred position (after being contacted by UWAS) and a run-off election for the remaining candidates of the other position will be conducted. In the case of a tie, a re-vote will take place until the tie is broken.
​
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
All current UW Aviation Students, including those in final year that have not yet convocated, but excluding incoming first-year students that have not begun lectures yet can participate in this election. Of those able to participate, only students that are going to be enrolled in full-time studies at UW during the 2023/2024 academic year may run for a position.
