NUGSS Election Underway - Vote Now

The spring annually brings elections to student governments in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh with CNC’s Student Union, UNBC’s Graduate Student Society, and Northern Undergraduate Student Society (NUGSS) all casting ballots this week. Outgoing President of NUGSS, Armaan Jamwal spoke with CFURadio about his year in review and what is in focus for the incoming student council.

In review, Jamwal is satisfied with his efforts to incorporate the Society into the BC Federation of Students (BCFS) to then contribute a louder voice towards reducing tuition fees for undergraduate students across the province. A referendum to finalize joining the federation will be coming through in the Fall 2026 semester.

Recently, the Society under direction of the Board of Directors & President put forward a referendum to create the option to increase the annual Health & Dental Plan fee up to 20% each year. Jamwal explained that the reason for this increase was to avoid using other operational funds to cover claim expenses incurred over the year, which over time could interfere with the Society’s ability to deliver other services. Despite a 55% vote in favor, the results did not quite reach the threshold required for implementation, so the next Board of Directors will have to address the issue in their upcoming term.

A change to the NUGSS governance structure has been implemented over the past year which determines that once elected, the Board of Directors will internally select a President from the pool of elected Directors. This update has so far resulted in an increased number of nominations for this 2026 election, compared to past years where the Society has seen a number of seats won by acclamation, with little competition for other positions.

As for increased participation of voters, the telling results will be available Friday March 27th after 10am. Until then UNBC undergraduate students are encouraged to vote, which is done directly through their @UNBC.ca domain email accounts. The successful candidates will be in attendance on the 27th for the Society's Hot Diggity Dog Day, where hot dogs will be served from 11am to 1:30pm in the student centre’s NUSC Event Space.
