Congratulations to all our candidates! We look forward to your time in leadership.

You will notice that not all delegate seats have been filled. While we would normally start immediately planning a special election to fill those vacancies, we received a number of write-in candidates for open delegate positions, and we are in the process of determining how to verify them. Please bear with us and look out for another email announcing our determination soon. At that time we will also share a more detailed report of the election results and any next steps (including an invitation to provide feedback on this election cycle).

*As noted in a prior email, these delegates don’t meet the one-year membership threshold required for candidacy, but due to open vacancies and the candidates’ commitment to run, the Election Committee made the recommendation that they be seated by the incoming delegates.

As always, if you have any questions, reach out to electioncommittee@nwu.org.

In solidarity,
The Election Committee
