VALDOSTA - Valdosta State University's Student Government Association (SGA) will host online voting for the election of ten freshman senators, who will serve the 2009-10 term, on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

All students registered for fall 2009 can cast their ballots by clicking on the SGA Elections link featured on VSU's home page in the calendar section. The link directs visitors to https://easapps.valdosta.edu/sgaelections/ . Once the student's 870 number is entered on the following page, a ballot will appear.
