Overview

The Student Bar Association (SBA) elections are a fundamental part of our governance, offering students the chance to shape their educational and social environment at the University of Houston Law Center. Through these elections, students can engage directly in the decision-making processes by voting for or becoming Executive Board members.

Executive Officer Election Details

Executive Board elections are held in the middle of the spring semester, around the time of midterms. These elections are open to all Law Center students who are active members of the SBA.

Voting Process Guidelines

Elections are conducted online, making it easy for all eligible voters to access them. Specific instructions and the voting timeline are announced early in the spring semester to ensure maximum participation. Detailed guidelines are provided in the SBA By-Laws to ensure a fair and effective election process.
