SBA Elections will be held this Monday, March 26, and Tuesday, March 27. The Election Commission encourages all law students to vote in this election.
The elections will be held online. Students can access the ballot at www.myum.miami.edu <http://www.myum.miami.edu/> from 9am on Monday,March 26 through 9pm on Tuesday, March 27. Once you sign on to MyUM, click the "Life at UM" tab. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click "law school election." At that point, the ballot should open.
Ballots will vary based on the student's school year. Students who are graduating this semester (current 3Ls) or who are part of the LLM program, JD/MBA program, or another joint degree program that still requires taking law school classes have the opportunity to vote during SBA elections. Everyone can vote for executive board candidates.
Current 2Ls will be able to vote for up to six candidates they wish to represent them as 3L Senator. Current 1Ls will be able to vote for up to six candidates they wish to represent them as 2L Senator, regardless of the section to which they belong.
Each category, with the exception of 2L and 3L senator, will have one space available for one write-in candidate. The position of 2L and 3L senator will have six spaces available for write in candidates. The six candidates in each senate category with the most votes will be elected. There is no difference between write in candidates and candidates originally on the ballot when counting votes.
Where voters can select more than one candidate for a position (i.e. Senate seats), ballots selecting less than the maximum selections are counted. However, ballots selecting more than the maximum will not be counted for that office.

No voter can vote for a single candidate more than once for the same position. If a voter does not follow these instructions, the voter's ballot will not be counted. A voter may write-in a candidate's name for another position on the ballot using the available write-in spaces.
We encourage all students to take part in the voting process. Remember, the SBA is here to serve you. Please take the time to cast your vote. Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Election Commission
