University Senate elections for the Fall 2024 semester will begin in late October. All faculty and staff who are eligible to vote will receive a nominating slate via email in late October, which will include a list of people nominated by the Senate Nominating Committee to be on the election ballot in November to fill the Senate seats that will be opening in both the Faculty at-Large and Professional Staff at-Large Constituencies.

In accordance with the University By-Laws, Article IX.B, the Faculty at-Large Constituency size has been reduced from 27 seats to 19 starting on July 1, 2025. The difference of 8 seats has been redistributed in accordance with the requirements laid out in the By-Laws, and more information can be found in the Nominating Committee Report to the Senate presented during the October 7, 2024, Senate Meeting.

If you are interested in a self-nomination, or in nominating a colleague to be added to the ballot, please email universitysenate@uconn.edu. Any petition must be endorsed by five (5) members of the constituency in support of a candidate and submitted before the nominating slate has closed.
