Elections and Selections
Interested in becoming a Delegate in TUA? You can either participate in the Elections or the Selections process! Internal Elections occur for Co-Chairs of the Body, Council Co-Chairs, Internal Finance Chair, and Elections and Transitions Chair occur following the Spring election cycle and Committee Chairs following the Fall election cycle.

Elections
Elections offer the opportunity to participate in the Promotional Period during Election Week. Elections for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year students will occur during the Spring, while elections for incoming First-Year students will occur during the Fall.
Selections
Selections allow you the option to run for a Delegate position, without having to participate in Election Week or Promotional Period. Following the close of voting during the Fall semester, a random lottery process will select the 6 remaining seats.

Experiencing an issue accessing your Ballot?
Ballot access is determined by class year cohort (ex. A student who entered Tulane in the Fall of 2022 would be considered a 4th student and will vote for rising 4th year students). We understand that this may not match your credit hour classification (ex. if you are a junior by credits, but are only in your 1st year at Tulane, you are part of the rising 2nd Year Cohort.
If you are experiencing any issues related to accessing the ballot that matches your class year cohort, please contact the TUA at tua@tulane.edu with the Subject Line: “Ballot Access Issue | (Your ID Number)” and explain the issue you are experiencing.
