Students at UCF will get to enjoy free food, drink and t-shirts on Monday when voting for SGA Presidential Candidates officially begins.

The Senate passed bill 46-79, but the bill was not signed in time by SGA President Melissa Westbrook and Dr. Ehasz before the start of candidate declaration. This means that the bill will not go into effect until Senate elections if signed by Dr. Ehasz and Westbrook.

The bill bans presidential candidates from providing students with food, drink and prizes during the candidate voting process. Unless these items are approved by the election commission they would be considered a bribe. Candidates would only be allowed to provide students with items for the sole purpose of education, such as pamphlets and stickers.

Voting for SGA President begins on Monday and will run through Wednesday.
