votes (30 percent).
Approximately 13 percent of the student body voted. ASI Elections
Committee Chair Tracy Watte hopes to see a higher voter turnout during
the run-off. "The president and vice president positions are very
important because they have a lot of power regarding student activities
and responsibilities for funding," she said. "I'd like all students
