The final day to file for a position in the Associated Student Inc. for the 2017-2018 school year are quickly arriving with the last day being March 24 at 11 a.m.

Many positions in the ASI office are up for the taking, including the seat of President, Executive Vice President, Directors of all the various schools on campus, and many other Director chairs of the board.

All potential candidates for ASI office must have an average GPA of 2.5 and not under academic probation. Candidates must also maintain a minimum of six units for all undergraduates and three units for graduate and credential students.

All those running must be enrolled and completed one semester of at least six units prior to filing to run for a position.

Candidates that have filed by the deadline will be required to attend a mandatory orientation on March 24 at 1 p.m. which will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room in the Student Union building.

Campaigning will commence immediately after the orientation for all candidates and their campaigning team may not begin until after the orientation.

All material posted for campaigning must be approved by Campus Programming and must adhere to the ASI Elections Code as to where it can be posted.

While there are many places candidates can post their posters or banners, there are places where these things cannot be placed such as bathrooms, trash cans, or doors of any type. Campaigning also cannot extend out into mailboxes or cars nor will door-to-door soliciting be allowed.

Messages on all candidates material must have their names on it and cannot resort to slandering or harassing of other candidates.

Any violations of these rules will be subject to disqualification from the election.

The date for all CSU Bakersfield students to cast their vote to elect their representatives for the upcoming school year will begin on April 5 at 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on April 6.
