summary

This resolution amends ASUC election bylaws (ASUCBL 4203, 4105, 4204) to implement a clear campaigning timeline, define "soft" and "hard" campaigning, and prohibit candidates from running for multiple positions. It also adjusts the Appointed Officer nomination timeline and moves the 2026 ASUC Elections voting period to April 13th-15th, 2026, to ensure religious accommodation. These changes aim to enhance election integrity, promote equity among candidates, and address student burnout.
