GA, Freshman class elections close today

October 13

AU students headed to the polls to vote for their representatives to the General Assembly and Class of 2007 Council yesterday and continue to vote today. Unlike last year, sheets of paper and pens greet them instead of computers offering online voting.

And there's a hard copy." The election, which includes votes for open seats on the GA as well as the new freshman class council, shifted away from the computer system after problems in the past. "Some people were able to vote for themselves five times," Kanneth said, "while others weren't able to vote for themselves once."
