Only five of the 25 positions are running unopposed this year. Last year there were 14 positions that were won by default.
One of the unopposed positions last year was executive director. This year, there are two candidates who are vying for the spot.
Joseph P. Derkin, the current senator for residence hall students, and Scott Sherwood, the current director of student advancement, will be campaigning for the executive director position.
Students will be able to view campaign platforms on the TVs outside the Student Organizations office in the Student Center.
A forum, which will be announced later this week, will showcase candidates’ goals for student government.
Students can vote for candidates through Flashline on Mar. 10.
