Election Results
Jamaland
Jamaland had three candidates running for two senator seats: Ayon Dey ’18, Phillip An ’19, and Dylan Bremner ’20. Round one shows a clear election for Dylan. Thus, by the rules of STV, Dylan’s votes are transferred to their next choice candidates.
After votes are transferred to their next choice candidates, a spelling error is entered into the data. No conclusions can be drawn while this error is in tact.
We fix the spelling error, and now clearly see that Phillip An ’19 is elected to the second seat for Jamaland.
Thus, Phillip An ’19 and Dylan Bremner ’20 are elected as Jamaland representatives.
Loosehead
Loosehead had five candidates running for three senate seats: David Angus Taylor ’20, Dylan Welch ’19, Emily Porter ’18, Jenkin Downey Benson ’17, and Riley Murph ’19.
We remove Anna, the write-in candidate.
Dylan Welch has enough votes to be elected to a seat. Thus, we remove him and redistribute those votes.
Riley Murphy ’19 is elected – we now have a single seat left.
For the last seat, Jenkin Downey Benson ’17 is elected.
Thus, Dylan Welch ’19, Riley Murphy ’19 and Jenkin Downey Benson ’17 are elected as Loosehead representatives.
LaKerRoJe
LaKerRoJe had five candidates running for three seats – Ruth Brindel ’19, Muhammad Waez Sheikh ’19, Isaac Gold ’19, Zisimos Doulaveris ’20, and Peter Zelles ’20.
Isaac Gold is eliminated.
Ruth now has enough votes to be elected. We redistribute her votes through STV.
The vote for Shiro is eliminated and gets redistributed to No Confidence – we now eliminate Zisimos, and thus Waez and Peter are elected.
Ruth Brindel ’19, Muhammad Waez Sheikh ’19, and Peter Zelles ’20 are elected East Campus Senators.
CaNaDa
CaNaDa had seven candidates running for three seats – Angela Adom Frimpong ’20, Cole Riley ’19, Schweitzer ’20, Shiyan Li ’20, Thompson Teasdale ’20, Zala Tomasic ’18, Zhaoyu Sun ’20.
We eliminated Rohan, a write-in candidate. We transfer that vote to their next preference.
Shuyan Li ’20 is now eliminated. We transfer votes to their next preferences.
Zhaoyu Sun ’20 is now eliminated. We transfer votes to their next preferences.
Cole Riley ’19 is eliminated. We transfer votes to their next preferences.
Thompson Teasdale ’20 is eliminated. We transfer those votes to check to see if ‘No Confidence’ gains a threshold.
Zala Tomasic ’18, Angela Adom Frimpong ’20, and Schweitzer ’20 are elected Senator of CaNaDa.
Clangrala
Clangrala had three candidates running for two seats – Charlotte Love ’19, Henry Dodd ’18, and Zhiye Lu ’19.
Charlotte Love ’19 has over 50% of the vote. We elect her and redistribute her votes. We then fix a typo in Zhiye’s name for second choice candidate ballots to ensure that we’re comparing two candidates fairly (graphic not included).
By a single vote, Henry Dodd ’18 is elected as Senator.
The Clangrala Senators are Charlotte Love ’19 and Henry Dodd ’18.
Smounker
Smounker had five candidates running for two senate seats – Anaan Javed Ramay ’20, Emily M Zaffirro ’19, Jackson Lea ’19, Jason Cho ’18, and Pranjal Drall.
Jason Cho ’18 is eliminated.
Emily M. Zaffirro is eliminated.
Jackson Lea ’19 is eliminated.
Thus for Smounker, Anaan Javed Ramay ’20 and Pranjal Drall ’20 are elected.
OCCO/OCNCO
OCCO/OCNCO had seven candidates for three senate seats – Alosha Southern ’17, Kahlil Epps ’18, Laure Toppeta ’17, Melissa Rogers ’17, Nick Roberson ’18, Richard Li ’17, and Takshil Sachdev ’19. All candidates but Kahlil and Takshil live in OCNCO. OCCO/OCNCO election is different because it has a requirement that at least one senator comes from OCCO and one from OCNCO.
First, we weed out the write in votes.
Next, we remove Kahlil and Melissa as no one has over the threshold. I removed both of them at the same time (and separately) and saw no change in the elimination of the other.
Takshil now has the least number of votes and is eliminated. No one has over 50% of the votes (or 33% actually). However, Takshil is the last standing OCCO candidate – so Takshil Sachdev ’19 is elected.
Richard does not have the votes yet to qualify as elected, so we eliminate the person with the least number of votes – Nick Roberson ’18.
Richard has crossed the threshold – his votes are distributed between Alosha and Lauren for the last seat.
OCCO/OCNCO elects Richard Li ’17, Lauren Toppeta ’17, and Takshil Sachdev ’19.
