StuCo class elections see record turnout
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 phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the 2007 Student Council class elections, including turnout, technical problems and challenges to the results.
- The News-Letter reported that a record number of students voted, while technical errors delayed the election timetable and led officials to extend the deadline.
- The paper reported that Nattapol Pow-anpongkul, Natasha Singh and Sonny Chandrasekhan won the senior, junior and sophomore class presidencies, respectively.
- The article adds that some candidate statements did not appear online; freshman Marissa Neto said this made it harder for students to vote fairly.
- The reporter writes that at least two candidates challenged the results, and that the Committee on Student Elections had withdrawn one challenge involving a late spending report while still considering the other.
- According to the article, current Student Council president Atin Agarwal said more than 1,000 people voted and that he had confidence in the next year's candidates.
