Following Friday’s deadline for filing for an elected position in the Associated Students of Oregon State University, the complete list of candidates that will be featured on the ballot has been released. Elections for next year’s positions will take place online between Monday, Feb. 12 at 12:01 a.m. and Friday, Feb. 16 at 10 p.m.

Current graduate Rep. Andrew Oswalt will face a recall vote in the upcoming election stemming from his recent expression of white nationalist views and a subsequent petition from the ASOSU Senate. However, according to ASOSU Judicial Council Chair Josh Kaufman, even if Oswalt is recalled this term, he is eligible to hold office again next year if voted in. Oswalt is listed as a graduate representative candidate in this year’s election.
