• All candidates wishing to enter an election must have participated in Model United Nations for at least one year prior to this year.  Each candidate must fill out an Intent-to-Run form (attached below) signed by club advisor, which is due at Pre-MUN. 
• All candidates running for office will meet with the Special Programs Program Staff Member designated in the conference schedule.  We will then review the duties of the office, and answer any questions about the qualifications and regulations in the Model United Nations program.  The elected officers are responsible for planning and implementing the Model United Nations program for the following year.
• Elections for offices (excluding Secretary General*, which is explained below) will be based on a two-vote system, meaning each club will have two votes.  The entire club delegation will decide how their votes will be divided. This may be done by housing a majority vote within your club.  Votes will be cast by the delegation in respective councils only. 
• Secretary General Elections will be conducted via a popular vote with the entire delegation using voting booths from the Registrar of Voters Office.  A simple majority is required to win the election.
• Each school can run candidates for a maximum of four leadership positions (this four office limit does not include officers in the Press Corps).  A school may not have more than one presiding officer in a council.  Should there be positions sought by no candidate, students to fill those positions may be appointed by the State Director.
