A '''''Referendum''''' is a vote to affect change in the Engineering Undergraduate Society. This can include changes to ''[[bylaws]]'' and ''[[constitutions]]'', [[fee]] renewals, creation of mandates, and more. You, the members, can basically order EUS to do anything. | |||
Referenda tend to occur once per semester of the [[academic year]], usually taking place around mid November and March. All [[regular members]] have the right to vote in all referenda. | |||
