SGA releases unofficial results for spring 2023 elections
February 28, 2023
Editor’s Note (3/1/23): The SGA Election’s Board released a statement announcing that John Dodd would be representing the Graduate School after the other write-in candidate declined to participate in a runoff against Dodd.
The Student Government Association released the unofficial results of the spring 2023 election, which consisted of four contested executive council positions.
The Elections Manual requires that unofficial results be posted by 11:59 p.m. on election day. Three class days after the election, the results will be final if no complaints or appeals are still pending.
As there are no such complaints or appeals pending at this time, the results below are expected to be confirmed on Friday.
The only hindrance the election process faced was a delay to the polls opening due to technical issues that prevented students from voting when the voting period began at 7:00 a.m. The issue was resolved by 8:42 a.m., and the Election Board addressed the issue and extended the closing time for the polls from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Voter turnout was 12,008 students, or 33.2% of eligible voters. This marks an increase from last year’s turnout of 28.23%, or 10,065 students.
The results are as follows:
