Under the provisions of the Elections Act, employees are entitled to three hours for purposes of

Please refer to Senate Paper S.97-47 for the current list of nominees and the positions open for

election. If you are nominating another individual, please ensure that they agree to their being

nominated for the position. They should also be reminded that a "candidate's statement
