Although there were 11 open seats in this year’s Student Union fall elections, only 10 have been filled so far, despite a competitive ballot.

The vote count to determine the winner of the last open spot—the candidate with the 11th most votes—was exactly equal for Treasury hopefuls freshman Kyle Jeter and sophomore Jonah Klein-Barton.

SU president Jordan Finkelstein said a tie like this in particular had never been seen before—though there have been ties for Senate in the past—so there’s no clear precedent for the situation. The issue is being looked into by the Constitutional Council, the judicial arm of SU.

“[We’re] looking at all of our government documents and at any precedent that’s happened in years before to let us know what the next steps are to figure out who’s going to sit in that seat,” Finkelstein said.

While voter turnout was down from last year (28.3 percent of students voted compared to 35.4 percent last year), Finkelstein noted that the election was particularly competitive.

“I think [it’s] one of the most competitive elections that we’ve seen in recent semesters, which is always good, because that kind of stimulates voter turnout, because the more people who are running, the more campaigning that’s going on, and the more people who will vote,” Finkelstein said.

Students voted for members of Treasury, senators from their respective colleges and for president and members of ArtSci Council.

Eighteen candidates ran for 11 open Treasury seats. Five incumbents—sophomores Bill Feng, Travis Parr, Iliana Ragnone and Keaton Schifer and exchange student Danyao Xu—ran for re-election, and all retained their seats. Freshman Minki Kim, sophomore Jackie Oestreicher, freshman Sydney Robinson, sophomore Max Thompson and junior Chris Wilson were elected as new Treasury members.

As a newly elected member of the Treasury, Wilson is looking forward to his new role.

“I’m excited to be on Treasury so that I can be a liaison between students and the administration. I can listen to students’ voices and hear their opinions on how we should handle our budget and develop resources that are necessary for the growth of our student body,” Wilson said.

The Senate is comprised of members designated from each of the four undergraduate colleges. One seat was open for Sam Fox students, and sophomore Amelia Fong retained her seat.

Engineering students picked two senators in this election. Senior Bo Huang was re-elected, and sophomore Mark McMillin took the other seat.

Two seats were available for Olin Business School students as well. Junior Nicole Nemec was re-elected to her Senate seat, and freshman Lydia Duran was also elected.

Duran hopes her Senate term will be productive.

“I’m hoping to learn a lot from the re-elected incumbents and from other upperclassmen about helping the student body with important projects during my term this year. It’s always a great feeling to be a part of something that makes a lasting impact on a lot of people,” Duran said.

Six senators were elected from Arts & Sciences. Incumbent sophomores Christopher Hall and Jonah Ragsdale retained their seats. Freshman Brian Adler, sophomore Andrew Englund, freshman Sylvia Snyderman and freshman Chas Warden are newly elected to the Senate.

Students in the College of Arts & Sciences also elected members for the ArtSci Council. Freshman Carter Paterson is the newly elected President. The five members of the Council, all freshmen, are Morgan Anker, Isabella Bergonzoli Jaramillo, Stephen Bertelsman, Anthony Scales and Kevin Yin.
