On Monday and Tuesday, polling stations will be located at the Marshall Student Center, the walkway between Pollo Tropical and Cooper Hall and the Sun Dome walkway.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the Sun Dome polling station will be moved to the Juniper-Poplar Hall walkway.

Senators running for election are in albums organized by college with a small biography about each nominee paired with their photograph.
Currently, there are three campaign-eligible tickets running for student body president and vice president: running mates Chris Griffin and Alec Waid, Nicole Hudson and Amanda Hill and Michael Malanga and Taylor Sanchez.
The vice presidential and presidential debates took place last week, during which candidates discussed their platforms and initiatives they hope to implement upon election.
