ASG Senate Vacancy Applications Now Available

Applications for students interested in filling vacant seats in the Associated Student Government Senate are now available on the Associated Student Government HogSync. Students should log in with a valid uark.edu email address. The ASG Senate is open to all full-time U of A undergraduate students who meet co-curricular requirements throughout the academic year (full-time status, 2.25 or above GPA and not on conduct or academic integrity probation). Elected senators serve their term for one academic year.

In the 2024 Fall Vacancy Election, the ASG Senate will fill vacant seats on an at-large basis. This means that students can vote for any candidate, regardless of which college they or the candidate is enrolled in. Candidates submitting an application for the ASG Senate must also complete the online Candidate's Orientation Quiz or attend the Candidate Orientation Session.

Candidates wishing to attend the Candidate Orientation Session in person can attend the session on Thursday, Aug. 29. If a candidate is unable to attend the session, they must take the quiz on HogSync. The quiz covers information found in the PowerPoint presentation at asg.uark.edu/elections. Candidates must score a passing grade in order for their application to be considered complete and placed on the ballot. After taking the quiz, candidates will receive notification of either passing or failing the quiz within 24 hours by ASG Chief Justice Adi Kombathula. If a candidate fails the quiz, they must retake it and pass it prior to the deadline of 5 p.m. CT Sunday, Sept. 8. Late quizzes will not be accepted. Applications are due by 5 p.m. CT Sunday, Sept. 8, via HogSync. No exceptions will be made for late applications. 

Voting for the 2024 Fall Vacancy Election will begin at 9 a.m. CT Tuesday, Sept. 10, and close at 4 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Sept. 11. Paper ballots will be available in the ASG Office, Arkansas Union 214. Please visit https://asg.uark.edu/elections/ for a complete election timeline.
