From the Chair of the College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee
The College Senate will hold elections Monday, April 21, to Friday, April 25.
Once again, the College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee will make use of an electronic voting system supplemented by paper ballots to conduct two elections. The first fills one University Faculty Senate (UFS) seat and one alternate UFS seat. The second fills two at-large College Senate seats. All elections are for three-year terms. Voting began at 12:01 a.m. Monday, April 21, and continues until 11:59 p.m. today, April 25.
Our primary goals are to encourage participation in the shared governance of Buffalo State and to share information on each candidate. If you have not already visited the College Senate's Elections Information Site to review candidate qualifications, please do so.
Voter Eligibility
Electronic or Paper Ballot
If you plan to vote electronically:
When you log in, the system will identify the election(s) in which you are eligible to vote. If you think you have been misidentified or some other issue arises, please contact Vince Masci, clerk 1 in the College Senate Office, ext. 5139.
If you plan to vote by paper ballot, you must request a ballot. Ballots will be sent only to voters who request them. Please request a paper ballot in one of the following ways during the election period:
Paper ballots, to be distributed during the second week of April, will contain the same information about each candidate as the electronic site (with the exception of photographs or information from candidates’ web sites, should any of the candidates have web sites) and must be returned to the Senate Office by the close of business Friday, April 25, in order to be counted.
Thank you for your participation in this year’s election. Please share any feedback, questions, or concerns with Bill White, chair of the Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee.
