USEC Aftermath

The night before the announcement of candidates, I received an email saying that I have been disqualified from running in the 2023 Student Elections. I and my friend Rayan failed to qualify because students are only allowed to run if they are enrolled in the university for more than a year already. We were just enrolled for 8 months.

In my opinion, the 1 year residency makes sense. It shows how dedicated potential candidates are for the position.

With this said, when tomorrow came, there were only a few students who ran for positions. For reference, the University Student Government is composed of a President, Vice President, 2 Senators from each college (total of 14), and a Representative from Each Program (which will be the composition of the USG House of Representatives). Only 1 set of President-Vice President filed for candidacy, only one candidate for CSIT Representative filed for candidacy. No one filed for Senate positions.

As for the College Student Government, at least one tandem for the positions of Governor and Vice Governor ran unopposed, with the exception of the CCJE, which fielded no candidates for the CSG Elections. All CSG also has 7 Legislative Councillors. CLAC was the only one who had a candidate for those positions. Only one filed.

It won’t be easy for them though. When running unopposed, the basis of election would be so-called “vote of confidence”, where the candidates must receive a percentage of votes in relation to their voting population. For example, a voting population of 1-100 people would require 50% or 50 people to vote for you, for you to be elected.
