Elections Handbook 2025
Students run in the BYUSA Election as a candidate pair, President and Executive Vice President. The student body vote will take place at the end of February. The time in between consists of developing a plan for the proposed year in office, developing a campaign, and participating in a series of experiences to connect candidates with the student body.
The Elections Handbook outlines the expectations for candidates and rules of campaigning throughout that time.
