Student Election Commission

This committee is not being appointed at this time. Pending the approval of the Illinois State Senate Constitution, the Election Oversight Committee will be appointed in the fall.

The Student Election Commission has the responsibility and authority for administering the following elections: Illinois Student Senate; Student Organization Resource Fee (SORF) Board; and Student Trustee.

The Student Elections Commission (SEC) is an independent body composed of graduate and professional students. Some of the duties of the SEC include establishing election rules, administering elections, certifying election results and conducting appeal hearings upon request. Interested students should submit an application to the current SEC for consideration as a member: applications are accepted at the beginning of each fall semester. The SEC appoints members to serve on the Commission. The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs appoints two staff members to serve as advisors.
