Voting for the 2016 AS elections took place online from April 4 through 8, closing at 4 p.m.

All candidates had to receive above 20 percent of the vote for to be considered a win, meaning that abstentions can prevent a candidate from winning, even when running unopposed. In this year’s election, 5882 students voted.

In some cases, the vote count came down extremely close to the wire: Incoming Arts and Humanities Senator Alexis Eubank won by 12 votes votes and Biological Sciences Senator Christy Olds won by only 20 votes.
