All students running for an elected position in VSG attended a mandatory candidates meeting on Feb. 5 to declare their candidacy. They also had to submit a petition with 100 student signatures (25 for a council representative) by Wednesday to have their name placed on the ballot. During the petitioning period, students were forbidden to begin an official campaign. Two students have already been disqualified from the campaigning process for campaigning before 12:01 a.m. on Thursday.

The primary election is on Feb. 18, and the general election will be held Feb. 25.
