The GPSA Elections Committee organizes, supervises, and announces the results of the annual GPSA election. General elections for GPSA President are held each April though an electronic ballot process. At this time, amendments to the GPSA Constitution, as accepted by Council, must also go before the graduate and professional student body for a vote.

Students interested in running for GPSA office should contact the Elections Chair regarding the elections process and the necessary credentials.
