SGA set up voting booths in the Student Center for the first time this year in hopes of attracting more students to encourage them to vote. Outside of the Axinn Library, the only candidates for president and vice president, Tevon Hyman and Ron Singh stood with poster boards shouting for people to get out and vote.
“Your vote does make a difference,” Singh screamed as students walked by.
The single ticket for SGA’s highest positions is due to the group’s smaller size compared to last year, when there were two tickets running. The rarity of this year’s election is also attributed to the number of members graduating this year, and less people able to make the time commitment.
“It would be hard [to run SGA] with a smaller SGA in the fall, so we’re really looking forward to fall elections,” said Hyman. But that does not stop him or Singh from running for their leadership positions.
