According to a press release issued by the university’s public relations office, the election commission will be formed on 8 October. Within 11 days of its formation, the commission will prepare and announce the election schedule.

In consultation with student organisations, journalist bodies and other stakeholders, the election commission will also formulate the Jnucsu election policy and code of conduct, prepare the draft and final voter lists, oversee submission and scrutiny of nominations, dispose of appeals (if any), publish the final list of candidates and supervise campaigning.

The university confirmed that voting and official results will be announced on 27 November, in line with its constitution and regulations.
