Thanks for checking in with the blog ! As the conclusion of election season draws near, I'd like to share some of the voter turnout numbers that Commish Davis has shared with me. Much to my delight, it appears that polling is as strong as it was last week! Considering the razor-thin margin, the candidates and their teams have been spotted all over campus and the halls of social media.
Now that polls have closed, Nathan Davis tells me that 1306 students have voted in the runoff. Considering 1239 students voted last week, that means everybody who voted last week plus 67 more students got involved in this year's election. Given the historical trend of lower voter turnout during the runoff, this is exciting news!
So when will we have the final results? Commissioner Davis has publicized that tonight's results will be announced in Maucker Union after Senate. Considering Senate starts at 8pm and they'll be hosting several members of the Cedar Falls City Council (hm, wonder why?) in addition to business they couldn't get to last week due to weather, we are looking at an announcement somewhere between 9:30pm, 10pm, or even later.
The Northern Iowan has a reporter at every Senate meeting and tweets proceedings and happenings at @NIonNISG. To follow along with tonight's meeting, and to forecast it's conclusion, keep up to date by following on Twitter. I'll also be tweeting from that account, not to be confused with #tweetgate2015 perpetrator of false information @NISG. As always. stay tuned!
UPDATE (9:32PM): The City has finished their presentation, and Senate business is now ongoing.
