This guide explains how to cast your vote in a WMSU student election. You’ll need to validate your eligibility using your Certificate of Registration (COR), scan your student ID at a precinct, and cast your vote.
If you validate your COR online, you can proceed to a precinct to vote. No login is required for validation.
Go to the i-Elect homepage and find the “Validate COR” or “Voter Registration” link, typically on the homepage or Events page.
Upload a clear image of your Certificate of Registration (JPEG or PNG, max 2MB). Enter your student ID or name to link the COR to your identity.
After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation (e.g., a voting code or email) indicating your eligibility has been validated. Save this confirmation.
Go to a designated precinct on campus (e.g., College of Engineering, Library) during voting hours (e.g., 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, as announced).
Present your student ID to the election moderator (a device or staff-managed system). The moderator will scan your ID to verify your validated status.
Use the voting system (e.g., a touchscreen or computer) to select your candidates for each position (e.g., President, Vice President). Review your choices and submit your vote.
Receive a confirmation (e.g., a digital receipt or code) from the voting system. Save this to verify your vote if needed.
If you cannot validate your COR online, you can do everything at a voting precinct.
Go to a designated precinct on campus (e.g., College of Engineering, Library) during voting hours (e.g., 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, as announced).
Show your physical Certificate of Registration to the election officer. They will verify your eligibility to vote.
Present your student ID to the moderator (a device or staff-managed system). The moderator will scan your ID to confirm your identity and record your vote eligibility.
Use the voting system (e.g., a touchscreen, computer, or paper ballot) to select your candidates for each position. If using a paper ballot, mark your choices and place it in the ballot box.
Receive a confirmation (e.g., a stamp on a voter slip, verbal acknowledgment, or digital receipt). Keep this for your records.
