Post-Election Processing + Support
Elections can be stressful.
This year, it is very possible that we will not know the result of elections until a number of days after Election Day.
Regardless of the outcomes of the races on the ballot, we recognize that many students will need some space and support in processing. Please check out the list below, made up of both on and off-campus resources available to our KU community.
