Editor’s Note: This story previously stated that several colleges will have a runoff election. According to Fonseca, only the College of Fine Arts will have one.
Certain Senate seats in the Student Government Association will go into a runoff election after the declared and write-in candidates for those seats received the same number of votes.
Only students in the College of Fine Arts will receive a ballot, as candidates in other colleges did not accept the runoff seats.
The runoff election will be held Monday, April 15, to Wednesday, April 17, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the unofficial results being announced around 6 p.m. on April 17. Fine arts students can find the voting link in their school email or on ShockerSync.
Gabriel Fonseca, an SGA adviser, said that this year was “fascinating” because there were a larger number of write-in candidates compared to previous years.
During a meeting on April 4, the Supreme Court ruled that the election code does not differentiate between a declared candidate and a write-in candidate.
Prior to this meeting, write-in candidates who won their race were asked if they accepted the role.
The results of all other races, including the presidential race, were officially certified and announced on April 5.
