A Message from the Board of Commissioners Greetings! Thank you for volunteering and giving your time to be a poll officer for this upcoming 2013 Freshmen and Special Elections. Your role as a poll officer is very important so please read through this primer thoroughly. This contains everything you need to know about the election period. This also serves as your guide to be an ideal poll officer. This semester, we uphold the theme convergence. Though we come from different courses and blocks, we still remain as one body. Through this primer, we align our actions and behaviors towards one goal. Let each of us be our own unique and bright colors who collectively belong to a single spectrum – united in greater service for the Loyola Schools. Good luck everyone! May we all find the pot of gold at the end of this election season.
Sincerely Board of Commissioners
