Campaign week
According to the SRC website, posters and physical campaign materials will be prohibited due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Speeches are only for executive members so we are not sure if speeches will even be necessary as we only have one executive position open,” said Patrick Hickey, President of the UNB-SRC. “If so, they will be done online.”
The campaigning will be done virtually from September 28 to October 2.
Voting week
All undergraduate students who attend UNB Saint John, both full-time and part-time, can vote through E-Services. The steps for voting can be found here. Voting will be open from October 5 to October 9.
Voting week closes at the end day Friday, October 9.
