ASM is now accepting Candidate Declaration Forms online for the Spring 2025 Elections, which will take place March 10 – 12, 2025. Applications can be found at the link below and must be completed and submitted by noon on Friday, February 14, 2025.
The Associated Students of Madison (ASM) is first and foremost a grassroots organization that works to directly involve and empower all students in making their own lives better by participating in strategic campaigns. Through this work students learn to be effective, engaged citizens who can coordinate and advocate for themselves.
Student Council is comprised of 33 elected representatives and is chiefly responsible for exercising the legislative powers and duties of shared governance as stipulated by Wisconsin State Statute 36.09(5). Student Council Representatives serve their constituents through student advocacy and by reviewing and recommending changes to campus policy pertaining to student life, services, and interests. Elected representatives will serve from April 24, 2025 – April 23, 2026.
The Student Services Finance Committee (SSFC) is made up of UW students whose task is to make recommendations to ASM Student Council on the allocation of over $50 million in segregated fees. SSFC provides substantial (typically $20,000 and upward) funding to organizations that provide a non-academic but educational service to the UW-Madison student body. Elected SSFC representatives will serve a 2-year term from April 24, 2025 – April 23, 2027.
Fill out the Candidate Declaration Form before time runs out! For questions, contact the Student Election Commission (SEC) Chair at elections@asm.wisc.edu.
