Voting takes literally 30 seconds, and begins Thursday, continuing through Tuesday. The results will be announced at next Wednesday's Senate meeting and afterward in Alfred Today and the Fiat Lux.

The candidates for president are Jessica Henderson and Jameson Pownall, and the candidates for vice president are Laura Findlay and Nick Munch. In addition to these official candidates, space will be available for write-in candidates and protest votes.

Student Senate is the place where the student body speaks on issues affecting the quality of life and the student experience at AU. Having the best qualified students in charge is in everyone's best interest. So get informed, get involved, and vote!
