After receiving confirmation, you’ll be sent a personalized petition link for members to sign. Twenty-five signatures from Journalist members are required to run for president, while 15 signatures are required for all other positions. Only Journalist members can sign petitions for officers and Journalist Board members, and only Communicator members can sign petitions for Communicator Board members.
All candidates also will have petitions at the Club. Members can sign either the virtual or physical petition. Signatures from both petitions will be added together when determining if a candidate has enough signatures to qualify.
