Elections
The Pamantasan Election for Supreme Student Council is governed by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) led by COMELEC Chairperson to be selected among other student who are willing to serve the commission and does not have the intention of running in any position of the Supreme StudentCouncil. The COMELEC is led by Student COMELEC Chairperson, his Co-Chairperson and Chairman from the Faculty of the Pamantasan with the other eight (8) COMELEC Commissioners.
Automated (Computerize) Elections
The Pamantasan used a manual election scheme from School Year 2002-2011. in which University COMELEC conduct a classroom by classroom casting of votes and it consume at least a half an hour in each section of every course. In this kind of election a lot of time was spent in casting of vote instead of teaching that is needed by the students to learn their Bachelor's Degree, that is why the student COMELEC decided to adopt to the changes needed with the help of available technology to reduce the time consume in the casting of votes and also with the counting of the vote itself.
The computerize election came first in the School Year 2011-2012 under the term of COMELEC Student Chairman Generoso T. Calacday Jr, Faculty COMELEC Chairman Raymond L. Cruz, SSC adviser Ms. Ivy and other Commissioners from different colleges. They have decided to change the system of the election and speed up the election to avoid the interruption of classes that may affect the study of the students of the Pamantasan. With the helping hand of I.T. Coordinator Mr. Rommel Apostol, who made the software that is used for the election with Microsoft visual basic. that was consider a success and able to reduce the voting time of each section into five minutes or less and the whole election period was done in a day compare to the previous system in which it lasted at least three days to finish and proclaim the winners of the election.
Computerized election had encounter one minor problem, as the Education Representative votes are not been counted due to minor coding problem because during the pilot testing of the said software there was no education student present. Due to that minor problem COMELEC decided to make a re-election for Education Representative the following week.
