What is the Chief Returning Officer?
The Chief Returning Officer [CRO] is largely in charge of the organization and supervision of Official Elections of the EUS. Additionally, the CRO generally is a reference for the Deputy Returning Officers [DROs], who are in charge of the organization and supervision of their departmental society's elections. This organization often consists of ensuring awareness of campaigning and election bylaws, encouraging voters to be informed and vote, and moderating anything inbetween.
Responsibilities
Creation of the Electoral Calendar
Part of the job of the CRO is to plan the entire schedule for information periods, campaigning, and voting for the upcoming academic year. This constitutes the Electoral Calendar, and must be presented to the EUS Board of Governors for ratification (by simple majority) at the Board's second session of the Summer. The Electoral Calendar, if approved, is then made public in the week following. This is per Article 3.1.5 of the Electoral and Referendum Bylaws.
