The ASUO primary election begins today. Students can vote online on DuckWeb — duckweb.uoregon.edu — from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Friday. The ballot is under the DuckWeb student menu.
Unless one ASUO Executive candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the primary will determine which two tickets face off in the general election Feb. 27 to March 1.
Ten Executive tickets are on the primary ballot. Twenty-two candidates are running for 18 ASUO Student Senate seats. The primary will determine who wins senate seats that have one or two candidates running. For senate Seat 7 and senate Seat 14, which each have three candidates running, the two who receive the most votes will advance to the general election, unless one candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote.
Other positions on the ballot include two member at-large seats on the ASUO Programs Finance Committee, at-large senate seats and one EMU Board member at-large position. One candidate is running for the Associated Students Presidential Advisory Council. No candidates are running for the Athletic Department Finance Committee member at-large position or the Student Recreation and Fitness Advisory Board.
Information about the candidates and their platforms is included in the ASUO Voter’s Guide, which was printed in Tuesday’s Emerald. The Voter’s Guide will also be available on DuckWeb.
Primary election results will be posted Friday at http:www.dailyemerald.com.
