Community Council Campaign Guidelines

Campaign Financing

No campaign is to spend more than $20.00 (if any money at all) on their campaign.
Candidates are responsible for any campaign-related purchases and will not be reimbursed.

Prior to posting, ALL signs must be approved by the CSD for your community.
Approval process: Email flyer or photo of design/physical (handmade) posters to your CSD. They will either stamp or sign the front of one poster for you to copy and distribute with that approval on it.
If unapproved/inappropriate signs are posted, judicial action may be taken, and you may be disqualified from the election.
Signs may only be posted in public places (e.g., lounges, main lobby, etc.).
Signs must be hung up using blue painters tape, provided for you at your front desk. That is the only item that University Housing/your community is permitted to contribute to your campaign.
Signs may not be posted on railings, windows, doors, floors, or safety-equipment (e.g., fire alarms, fire extinguishers, emergency equipment). Sidewalk chalking is prohibited.
No signs can, in any way, cover up another candidate’s sign that was hung previously.
If a person running for a Council position, or an acquaintance of that person, removes or damages any of their competitors’ signs, they will be disqualified.
Signs must be taken down within 2 days of election results posting.

Approval process: Email advertisement to your CSD prior to posting.
Candidates may campaign via personal social media accounts, but should keep all communications appropriate. If inappropriate campaign-related communications take place, judicial action may be taken, and you may be disqualified from the election.
