CUSG has an alternative voting system for students who need accommodations. Students needing to use the alternative process should contact the CUSG office in UMC 125, email custudentgov@gmail.com or call 303-492-7473.
This spring's election includes six tickets:

- EMPOWER: EMPOWER for CU Student Government is committed to improving and broadening CU Boulder’s initiatives to forge a more comprehensive, diverse and affordable college experience.
- Ignite CU: We are Ignite CU: A student government ticket dedicated to improving the University of Colorado and creating a safe, sustainable and service-oriented college experience for every student.
- Independent, Charly Mendoza: My goal is not to act as a representative and speak for anyone, I want to foster new initiatives within CUSG where you the reader can speak directly to our campus and community leaders about issues that need attention.
- PRIDE: PRIDE’s goal, through collaboration and engagement with all of campus, is not to speak for everyone but to amplify all voices and make you heard.
