There will be an installation which is partnered with the Beta Club. On that note, with campaigning, you can put up posters, give out pencils and highlighters, and give out stickers. Campaign with your fellow students and be loud! Absentee votes have not been touched on but there is a two day-all day window to vote or they can vote online so students who are out those days or at ISquared can still vote.
