The Associated Students of Madison spring elections will begin Monday, March 11 and continue through Wednesday, March 13.
Students can cast ballots online at asm.wisc.edu for a variety of positions, including 29 Student Council seats, five Student Services Finance Committee seats and senior class officer positions.
The ballot also contains a referendum on the current ASM constitution. The ASM website includes a link to the newly proposed ASM constitution, which would create four different branches of ASM: the executive, legislative, judicial and appropriations branches. These would replace the institution’s three current branches: Student Council, Student Services Finance Committee and Student Judiciary.
The referendum was officially placed on the spring ballot after successfully passing in two consecutive ASM Student Council meetings by a two-thirds vote earlier this semester.
If passed, representatives of the current session of ASM will convene a special committee to write the bylaws and financial codes for the new constitution. These documents would then need to pass through Student Council by a two-thirds vote.
