Statements from Steward candidates can be found here as they become available. Only members within a department can vote for stewards from their department. Departments can have 1 steward for each portion of 10 members. For example, if a department has 11 members they may have two stewards (minimum 1 steward / department). Departments without full representation in the executive council, can add stewards to the executive council by a vote of the current members of the executive council. Stewards must be re-elected yearly.
All elections have space for write-in candidates.
