Voter turnout: 3,931 out of 29,725 eligible students voted, (13.22%), which is higher than the average but lower than the previous two years. 

According to Halli Barrios, fifth-year biology student, ballot 1.20, a proposition to change the structure of congress to unicameral, as opposed to the current bicameral system, failed. Currently, it is divided into House and Senate, and the proposed ballot would have changed the system to a larger unified student Senate. 62% of voters were in favor of the proposed measure, ballot, but a two-thirds majority of total voters was required for it to pass, and voter-turnout was not high enough for the measure to have been considered. 

“To have the amendment pass, we needed 15% of the student body turn-out, so we didn’t hit that goal, which was a little disappointing. We’ll be working towards that for next year, as far as improvements go in our outreach,” said Safi Ahmad, fifth-year industrial engineering student and member of the Elections Committee. “As far as competitive elections, I think we had a couple of positions that were competitive and we’re happy that all the people that had originally wanted to do this did get elected into it, and now they have accepted that role, so we’re excited to have them on board.”
