SGA election’s high voter turnout is a sign of progress
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers higher turnout in the SGA executive-board election and the upcoming class council elections.
- The News-Letter reported that 1,371 voters participated last year, while 1,421 undergraduates voted this year.
- The paper reported that abstentions and write-ins fell nearly 70 percent, despite there being two executive-president candidates instead of three.
- The article says its Editorial Board commended the HopForward and New Horizons tickets for running positive campaigns based on solid platforms.
- The reporter writes that one class council election information session was held, with another scheduled for 7 p.m. in Hodson 210.
- According to the article, class council voting will run from April 21 through April 24, and the Editorial Board hopes senate-election turnout matches this year’s executive-board turnout.
