Winter 2016 ASUCD Election

The Winter 2016 ASUCD Elections were held from February 16th at 8am until February 19th at 8am. Six Senate seats, along with the President and Vice President, were up for election. Voting took place, as always, at http://elections.ucdavis.edu.

Coincidentally both of those elections also had three slates each running four or more Senate candidates.
