Voting for the Undergraduate Student Government, the Association of Residence Hall Students and the University Park Allocation Committee takes place today from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 12 sites on and off campus. Excluding the time spent waiting in line, filling out the ballot will probably take about two minutes, Salva said. Poll workers will offer Scantron sheets for voters to fill in their decisions.
Voters can also answer eight referendum questions while electing their new representatives.
Voter turnout may not be as large as some members of USG expect from such a large University, but the turnout will be enough for the results to be accurate, said Scott Nycum, debate and publicity elections commissioner. He said voter turnout could increase because of the recent warm weather and the heavy campaigning of the tickets running for USG president and vice president. Six tickets are registered on the ballot, and all made efforts to promote their campaigns, Nycum said. However, when recruiting students to work the polls today, Salva said he found many students unaware of the elections. I don't think it really makes a difference who I vote for.
