FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can vote in the TRSS elections?
Any full-time TRSM student can vote in the election. Students participating in international exchange and co-op are also eligible to vote.
Why is it important to vote?
Voting in the TRSS elections is very important because as a full-time TRSM student, you are a paying member of this organization, and it’s important to have your voice heard! TRSS plays an important role in your undergraduate experience by providing you with academic, social and professional development opportunities. TRSS is also responsible for allocating over 1.1 million dollars annually in funding, as well as supporting all 30 student groups under the TRSS umbrella. It’s important that you vote and that your voice is represented so it can help guide the TRSS Board in their planning to ensure they provide you with the best undergraduate experience possible.
​​
Can I vote even if I am in my final year?
Yes! As long as you are a full-time TRSM student at the time of the election, you are eligible to vote! Even if you’re graduating, it’s important to vote for the future of TRSS.
How and when can I vote?
Voting opens on February 5, 2026 at 8AM. The link to vote will be sent to your TMU email! Click the link there and cast your vote before February 13, 2026 at 3PM.
I see some candidates are running in teams (slates). Do I have to vote for the entire slate or can I vote for candidates from different teams?
When you’re casting your vote, you are voting for the individual candidate- even if they’re not on the same slate. Slates are a campaign practice used by candidates who share similar missions and goals for TRSS and wish to combine their efforts together during elections. However, at the end of the day, you vote for an individual candidate to make up the final elected Board.
What positions can I vote for?
Each full-time TRSM student can vote for each of the 6 executive positions as well as for the director positions for the school they are part of.
Which candidates should I vote for?
Great question! You should be voting for the candidates that you believe will best represent you and your interests on the TRSS Board of Directors in the upcoming academic year. To learn more about each candidate, visit the TRSS Instagram page or the TRSS website to see who’s running for each position and their attached campaign platforms.
