Between assignments, midterms, group chats, and “I’ll do it later,” there’s one email a lot of students quietly forget to see every year.
and that’s the UFV Student Union Elections email.
This year, voting runs from March 2 to March 5, 2026. And it takes less time than ordering coffee on campus.
If you’re a student at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), here’s what you need to know.
What Even Is a UFV Student Union Election?
The UFV Student Union (SUS) elections decide who leads student representation for the upcoming year.
These are students who:
Advocate for you in meetings with university leadership
Allocate funding for clubs and events
Influence policies that affect campus life
Manage how your student fees are used
Shape initiatives across UFV campuses
So yeah. It’s not just posters and campaign slogans.
When Is Voting Open?
March 2 to March 5
Miss it, and you miss it.
No extensions. No “I thought it was tomorrow.”
