ASG Senate Vacancy Elections will be held from 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 1, until 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2. Students can vote online at vote.uark.edu.

The following voters’ guide will allow students to quickly and simply compare candidates in both of the colleges with contested elections.

The platform summary is a very brief synopsis of the information provided by the candidate on the ASG application form. It includes only the specific policy changes the candidate proposed on that form.
