Election Days in Dlsu
Today is the first of the two Election Days in which students of DLSU-D will vote for a new set of University and College Student Council officers.
From a total of 97 candidates, 49 came from Samahan ng mga Estudyanteng Naninindigan para sa Tunay na Reporma at Ordinansa (SENTRO) political party, 46 came from SINAG Political Party while two are running as independent candidates.
They are contesting a total of 64 positions in the 7 College Student Councils and the lone University Student Council.
The total number of student-voters in DLSU-D is estimated to number around 12,000. However, year after year, the average voters’ turnout is around 30-45%. It’s a long standing issue which deserves a separate discussion in another post for another time.
Today, I will deal with one of the most pressing questions with regards to the elections: “How are winners of the elections determined?“
The answer can be found in Sections 112 and 113, Article XIII of the 2008 Revised Student Election Code of DLSU-D , which reads:
Section 112. USC Officers. Candidates who have obtained the highest total percentage of votes cast in all colleges shall be the winners for the said positions in the USC.
The winning candidates are determined in the following manner: first, each candidate’s collegiate electoral score is determined by obtaining the percentage of votes cast for him/her in each college, second, each candidate’s electoral collegiate score is combined, and third, the candidates with the highest combined collegiate electoral scores shall be the winners of the election for
USC Officers.
Section 113. CSC Officers. Candidates who have obtained the highest total percentage of votes cast in all program courses offered in their respective college shall be the winners for the said positions in the CSC.
