Since Rob Long and Elijah Sandoval are the only candidates running for president and vice president, they will answer questions that the CTV moderators ask. There will also be a section at both the president and vice president debate and speaker of the senate debate for audience members to ask the candidates questions.

The winners will be announced April 6 at 8:00 p.m.

Gemma Buhaenko, elections manager, spoke about voter engagement at ASCSU’s senate session March 23.

“I think it’s really important to stress advertisement,” Buhaenko said. “We’re looking … like we’re going to struggle with voter engagement this year. Just with how elections has gone, the timeline has been all over the place because of the change of leadership — we’ve struggled to get accurate advertisement out.”

The candidates running in this election are:

President and vice president:

  • Robert Long and Elijah Sandoval

Speaker of the senate:

  • Evan Welch
  • Nicholas DeSalvo
  • Rithik Correa

Senators:

  • Lydia Oker, College of Agricultural Sciences
  • Faraaz Bukhari, College of Health and Human Sciences
  • Theo Reese, College of Liberal Arts
  • Abroa Pereira, Warner College of Natural Resources
