Yesterday, the candidates for the positions of President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Chief-of-Staff faced questions from the outgoing Executive Board, Board of Representatives, Electoral Committee, and the student body on their proposed projects and platforms.

This year’s Miting de Avance wouldn’t have been possible without all of you who showed up, listened, and took part in the conversation.

Now, it’s your turn, ELSSOC. 💙🧡

Online voting is officially open from 7:00 AM of May 1 until 11:59 PM of May 2. The Google Forms link will be sent through your batch group chats.

Reminder: duplicate votes and votes made using non-UST emails will not be counted.

📢 ADVISORY: SHARING THE BALLOT IS PROHIBITED

It has come to the Commission’s attention that a voter has anonymously posted a screenshot of the official ballot from the Electronic Voting System (EvoSys) in a social media forum not affiliated with the University.

Please be advised that this act constitutes an election offense under Implementing Rules and Regulations No. 13, Series of 2025–2026, specifically Section 12.2(g), which penalizes “any person who unofficially shares, distributes, or recreates, in photo or document form, wholly or in part, the official ballot of the COMELEC without official authorization.”

Rest assured that the Legal Division is currently looking into this matter.

Presented below are the official candidates for the ELSSOC Executive Board Elections for A.Y. 2026–2027, as approved by the Electoral Committee.

The campaign period will run from April 24 to 29. Additional information about the candidates may be accessed through the official UST ELSSOC Facebook group.

Stay informed and take part in the upcoming election activities! The Miting de Avance will take place on April 30 (Thursday). Further details will be released soon.
