The annual Associated Student Government election cycle officially began yesterday, and the two presidential candidates are now vying for your vote

The Associated Student Government elections have begun once again, and candidates will be traveling the campus asking for support as they look to fill the leadership positions of ASG.

“More than encouraging people to vote for you,” said Sean Henderson, at a meeting for the candidates. “You are encouraging them to vote, period.”

The candidates will attempt to convince their fellow students to vote, as an average of 600 people vote in these yearly elections.

“Voting in the election will allow for changes to take place, and will help decide what changes we, as students, want implemented,” said Anthony Hernandez, Election commissioner.

The candidate list is highlighted at the top with Emily Haas and Daniel Melchor running for president.

“If you have a heart to serve your student body, then you have a heart to serve your student body,” said Henderson “What position you have shouldn’t really matter.”

An open forum for candidates will be held for those interested in hearing more about the candidates in a controlled setting on April 10.

The election will be held electronically from April 22 until April 24.

“An email will go out that Monday morning [April 21],” said Henderson. “And that is how your classmates know how and when to vote.”
