One of the best parts about the voting system Your NCSAC uses is that it shares candidate profiles with your ballot. Furthermore, this website will have full candidate profiles as well! So you’ll have plenty of time to research and make an educated decision before March 10th rolls around. Ps. That's when voting begins!

Sure. It is 1 vote. But that one vote is your voice. It is you saying YES! I support this candidate to be the representative of my school of study. To be my voice at the board table.
