MSA Elections

What is The MSA Board of Directors?

The MSA Board of Directors (BOD) consists of students who have applied and been voted in by their peers to advocate for all Mohawk College students to college administration and the local, provincial, and federal government. The MSA BOD is also a part of the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA), which advocates for more than 365,000 students across Canada to the Federal Government.

How do I vote?

All full-time Mohawk College students will receive a secure-voting link from Simply Voting to their student email from Tuesday, March 4, to Thursday, March 6. Once their eligibility to vote has been verified, they will be directed to the Simply Voting website to cast their vote. The candidate who receives the most votes for the position that they are running for wins.

What if multiple people are running for the same role?

If there are multiple people running for the same position, you have the option to select the person you want to hold the role or abstain from voting altogether. If there are only two people running for the same position, you can select the person you want to hold the role. If there is only one person running for a specific position on the board, you have the option to vote yes, no, or abstain.

There are four positions open for Director at Large. If there are more than four students running for one of the open positions, you would vote for your top four candidates. The students who receive the most votes will be appointed to that role.
