Notes
At the time of this election, two Senators had resigned who were elected in Fall 2004: Sean Ruel and Nafeh Malik. There were interim Senators filling their seats but the ASUCD Constitution called for those appointed Senators to be replaced at the next election by elected Senators to fill the remainder of Sean and Nafeh’s terms. Thus, this election was for 8 seats with the 7th and 8th candidates elected filling the remainder of those terms.
Had there been only the 6 normal seats up for election, Eric Fox (Independent) and Nadeah Vali (LEAD) would not have been elected. Four relatively equal voting blocs with 8 open seats is an ideal situation for a proportional representation system. Having 8 open seats made this a unique election but having four equally supported voting blocs made it even more unique. It did not last long however because FUCK went from being the most popular slate in one election to not existing in the next election. There were also no significant Independent or “third party” slates that ran in the next election either.
Both measures passed although I do not have any further information. More information on the ballot measures.
