UNM Staff Council elections will be held April 2-10. Staff will vote for councilors to represent their grade by paper (grades 2-6) or electronic (all other grades) ballot.

Recent issues the council has addressed include a campus-wide tobacco ban, protection of employee rights, differential raises for faculty and staff, tuition remission policy, and aligning UNM and Albuquerque Public Schools spring breaks.
The council also contributes to events for and recognition of UNM staff, such as Staff Appreciation Week and Outstanding Staff Awards.
