A 45-member committee has been established to oversee the organization of the JNU Students Union elections, comprised of individuals from various schools and centers. Vikas has been appointed as the chairman of this committee, as announced by the JNU Dean Students Office. His primary responsibility is to ensure adherence to the rules and regulations set forth by the Lingdoh Committee for the JNU Students Union elections, with strict instructions to uphold the election code of conduct.
In preparation for the upcoming elections, the committee has directed individuals to review and make any necessary corrections to the voter list prior to submitting nominations, to ensure accurate identification of both the proposer and the candidate. Following the finalization of the candidate list, a general body meeting will be announced. To facilitate a peaceful and orderly election process, Chairman Vikas has reached out to the Senior Warden of Jhelum Hostel at JNU, seeking cooperation.
This year, the student union elections are taking place approximately one month later than the previous year, with voting scheduled for April 25th.
