Elections

Français

In accordance with our constitution, the MSGSA generally holds two elections during the year.

• All executive members, except the VP External, are chosen in an election, usually in the month of September. The VP External is in charge of organizing this election.

• The VP External is chosen in a second, separate election, held annually, usually in the month of April.

If there is a vacant position after an election (or in between elections), a special election is held to fill the vacant position(s).
