ASU Fall By-Election 2026
It’s just around the corner! 🗳️
The ASU Fall By-Election is coming up, and several positions on the Student Representative Council are waiting to be filled. But before we can have an election, we need candidates — and that’s where you come in.
Nominations matter!
A strong election starts with students putting their names forward. More candidates mean more students getting involved, more ideas being shared, and more choices on the ballot.
Think you’d be a good fit? Nominate yourself!
Know a classmate, friend, or fellow student who would be great in one of these roles? Encourage them to run or nominate them. Sometimes all it takes is someone saying, “Hey, I think you’d be great at this.”
Positions Available
The following positions will be open for nominations in the 2026 Fall By-Election:
-
Professional Studies Senator
-
Graduate Studies Senator
-
Councillor-at-Large — 2 positions
-
Community Relations Representative
-
Sustainability Representative
-
First-Year Representative
Whether you want to represent students, bring new ideas to the table, or get more involved in the Acadia community, the Fall By-Election is an opportunity to step forward and get involved.
Start thinking now
Who should run?
Maybe it’s someone in your class.
Maybe it’s a friend.
Maybe it’s you.
Information about nominations, eligibility, important dates, and how to participate will be coming soon.
In the meantime, start thinking about who you’d like to see on the ballot — and keep an eye on @acadiastudents and this page for Fall By-Election updates.

ASU Elections
Get Involved. Make It Count.
Every year, the Acadia Students’ Union (ASU) holds a General Election in the winter to elect student leaders who represent you, advocate for your needs, and bring new ideas to life. In the fall, we run a By-Election to fill any remaining positions and keep the momentum going.
