Candidate announcement for the 2017 ASUA elections

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona president and senate campaigns will fill campus for the next few weeks as election season has begun.

Campaigns begin Jan. 30 and will run for two weeks before the primary elections. The primaries will be held Feb. 14-15. Students can vote on those days from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. All students can vote for executive positions and the at-large senate positions, but they may only vote for their specific college senate.

Once the elections commission counts the primary election votes, the top two candidates from each category will advance to the general elections.

Senators who have advanced will participate in the senate question and answer session on Feb. 22. The executive vice president and administrative vice president debates will also be held on Feb. 22. Presidential debates are on Feb. 27.

Students can vote in the general elections on Feb. 28 and March 1.
