How Our Elections Work

Each year, the UTSU hosts elections so that students have the opportunity to make a difference in their student government, and to campaign on the issues that matter to them and their communities.  You can nominate yourself and campaign to represent your fellow students at the Board or Executive level. These elections primarily take place in the spring semester of each year, but elections to fill vacancies are held in the fall semester as well. Every UTSU member is encouraged to run in our elections.

All voting takes place online using the University of Toronto’s online electronic voting service, Simply Voting. To vote in the UTSU’s elections, please visit utoronto.simplyvoting.com and sign in using your UTORid and password.

Go to Simply Voting (opens in new window)

If you’re interested in our elections, but you aren’t sure whether or not you’d like to run, please consider attending an all-candidates meeting or an information session whenever they are held to learn more. These will usually be announced ahead of time on our social media and on this page.

Please see our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
