The search already returns results for offices which you may be eligible for, not which you are eligible for.
For example, my results include my state's Attorney General office, despite there being a requirement that candidates be admitted to the state's bar for 5 years prior to running for office. The vast majority of searchers will not be eligible for that office. It seems reasonable that anyone living in a zip code within a geofence around a university could have those student government positions returned, but with eligibility requirements clearly stated.
In general, the eligibility requirements also need to be more clear. In my example, the bar requirement is real but wasn't listed on the site.

So, for most student government positions at universities, would have to show up as possible eligible positions for all searchers with a model which uses zip code of residence as the only criteria and prefers risking false positives to false negatives. That's pretty useless, which is why I say student government is a bad fit for the model.
