As you walk into campus next Monday, you’ll be welcomed back to school — and to the 2014 ASUO elections.

For the first three weeks of spring term, ASUO campaigns will be taking over the streets and social media, all in the cause of getting you to vote for their candidates. To get prepared for the campaigners in Ducks Like You and Mighty Oregon T-shirts who will be asking for your vote, here’s a breakdown of  the spring ASUO election happenings. According to the elections timeline that’s provided by the ASUO, some of these dates might be subject to change, but for now here’s what you can expect:

The same day that classes begin on March 31 is also when the media campaign begins for the elections. That means pencils, buttons, stickers and anything else that you can think of that can get labeled with a candidate’s name on it will be handed out to students when they’re coming and going inside the UO campus.

The media campaign will be happening throughout the election, but for the first week it will be specifically geared toward getting students aware of the candidates who will need votes during the primaries. The election primaries begin on April 7 and end on April 11. Unlike last year, no voting will be allowed on laptops at campaigning tables, according to an announcement from ASUO Elections Board Coordinator MacGregor Ehlen at the first elections meeting on March 14.

Since three candidates — a candidate from Mighty Oregon, Beatriz Gutierrez and Thomas Tullis — are all running for president, the race won’t be over on April 11 when the primary winners are announced. The top two candidates will continue campaigning into the last stretch of the elections race, through April 14 when the official voting for the next ASUO president and ASUO senators opens to students.

For four days, the two candidates and their respected slates will be in campaign overdrive, making sure that they can be assured that they have your vote.

Once the campaign dust settles on April 18, a new president and a new set of senators will begin their transition from campaigning machines to student elected officials. By April 18, all campaign materials are required to be removed in all public areas. Just like that, three weeks of campaigning will be gone and going to class won’t be interrupted by a campaigner with a clipboard asking for your vote.
