The parties registered for UF's Student Government elections on Feb. 26 and 27 will hold interviews today, Monday and Tuesday to recruit students interested in SG executive or senate seats.
The interviews will take place in the Reitz Union Room 284 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Students must present their Gator 1 cards to qualify.
Six parties - Student Alliance, Progress, Orange and Blue, Gator, Swamp and Pants - are currently registered, said Sarah Krantz, SG Supervisor of Elections.
About 500 students usually turn out over the three days, she said. Each party is limited to accepting 47 people.
"I think it's a great way to start being politically active," Krantz said. "If you're politically active now, hopefully it'll be something you stick with for the rest of your life."
Last year, the Gator party was the only one to fill all its open spots, she said.
There's no required dress code, but Krantz said she would recommend that SG hopefuls wear casual business attire. Students will find out by Wednesday whether they've been chosen to run with a certain party, she said.
