The results are in! Over 6500 people voted in this election, which is apparently the highest turnouts in the past several decades. Yay democracy!
The results:
President
Blake Frederick
-apparently he only won by 46 votes- quite a far cry from last year…
VP Academic
Johannes Rebane
VP Finance
Tom Dvorak
VP External
Tim Chu
VP Administration
Crystal Hon
Board of Governors
Michael Duncan
Bijan Ahmadian
I can’t say there are any real surprises (at least, for me), other than Crystal Hon- I’ve heard good things about her, so congratulations for unseating an incumbent! I feel like this will be a good team for next year- a combination of some fresh blood, experience, and what I feel is a fairly diverse group of students. I’m saddened by Andrew Carne not getting a seat on the BoG, as I feel that he would have made an excellent candidate. But there you have it! Congratulations to next year’s executive, and congratulations also to all those who ran in the election- you’ve contributed something valuable to democracy and to this election. So congrats to all!
Thanks also to the Twitter function on the UBC Spectator page- I wasn’t able to be there for the announcement due to my being quite sick right now, so it was greatly appreciated.
[gerald notes: this is terrifying; I just came in to write this post and here it was.]
