It may seem “lame” to vote or that one vote won’t make a difference, but to these candidates, a single vote means the world. Everyone has worked so hard for weeks to put together a campaign. This hard work is displayed through posters, social media reels, handouts, and much more.
Voting has already opened! Don’t wait to elect next year’s student government positions. This can be found on the grade class Canvas courses. Remember to vote soon, as it closes Friday, March 28. Results will be announced to candidates around 6 pm on Friday and to the public following that. Every student only has one vote per position, so make sure to take time and consider all the options when voting.
Good luck to everyone running. May the votes ever be in your favor.
