Clubs & SIGs Insider

April | 2026

Greetings!

Voting in the Harvard Elections is now open! As a follow-up to the information shared recently in Sarah Karmon’s volunteer letter, we wanted to remind you of some important resources during this season.

The Harvard Elections website contains information on all candidates for both Overseers and HAA Elected Directors
The Alumni Volunteer Resources contains helpful information to share with your communities, including sample language for emails and social media outreach
Harvard Elections Frequently Asked Questions answers the most common questions surrounding the election

You have an important role to play as an HAA volunteer by encouraging your alumni community to participate in the election. If you share information about the election or highlight a member of your community who is on the ballot, please be sure to include the phrase “For more information about the elections and a complete list of candidates for Harvard Overseer and HAA Elected Director, visit elections.harvard.edu ” in your messaging.
