Announcements of candidacy are considered separate and distinct from active campaigning. Active campaigns for SAPA BOD cannot be granted until the Election Committee has announced the nominees for the board.
Active campaigning includes mass outreach activities such as letters or emails directed to all or a significant portion of the members of the SAPA-GA, communicated by or on behalf of the candidate. Candidates can also utilize the election WhatsApp group that will be created by the media office specifically for election purposes as a platform to publicly present their biographies along with announcing their vision and ideas.
The SAPA Election committee will monitor the campaigning process and strive to be fair to all candidates and correct any irregularities.
