Of 53 races, 25 are uncontested, including Student Council President, Second Year Class President and Fourth Year Class President.
Students can cast their votes online or at UBE-sponsored booths, located in Newcomb and the Rotunda Dome Room. This is the first year UBE is sponsoring voting booths.
The use of new software this year, as well as new servers that are able to handle higher voter turnout, will enable the board to receive elections results immediately and avoid delay in releasing the results.
