The second one will be held on Sunday, September 1st at 3:30pm in Genesee 325. You will have the opportunity to talk to many members of SA Government  and learn about the election process and rules at these events. If you are not able to attend either of these meetings, please watch the elections information video (coming soon) instead, as this information will be needed in order to pass the elections quiz.
