Ladies and gentlemen, the GUSA results are in! The student body cast 2040 votes for the non-at-large elections, and 1523 for the at-large election. This is up from last year’s 970 for at-large and 1033 for non-at-large.
Below, we have a list of the winners. And we’d like to wish a big Vox Populi congratulations to Eitan Paul, for seizing a write-in victory.
