Voter turnout on day one of the three-day election for the University of Central Florida’s Student Body President and Vice President took to the thousands.
In-person turnout at the UCF SGA tent in the Student Union plaza appeared to be lackluster. An increased number of students voted at the candidate tents in the same plaza in waves, likely as larger classes released.
Both Josh and Jad and Nick and Christina could be seen campaigning and inviting students to vote their side in front of the Student Union. Additional candidate supporters stood outside the RWC Knights Plaza gym as well as the boardwalk that led to the Student Union encouraging students to vote while handing out stickers for those who have.
As of 4 p.m. Monday afternoon, 4,452 votes had been cast in total, according to the Office of Student Involvement.
The leading candidates have not been announced by UCF.
Students may vote in the election through their MyUCF student center front page. An SGA Elections Voting link will take the student through the voting poll.
Voting will run from Monday, March 27 through Wednesday, March 29.
