Synopsis: Call for a Special Election
Date of Presentation: 2016-11-15
 

Whereas, the Senate is the representative body of undergraduates to the Associated Students of the University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) and,

 

Whereas, the Senate is currently operating with 19 Senators out of 30 total seats and,

 

Whereas, one-third of Senate seats are vacant and,

 

Whereas, under Article 6. Section 1. Subsection (d)(1), "Senate may call a special election to fill the seat" and,

 

Whereas, when it is possible for students to give their voice as to the selection of their representative, it should be undertaken and,

 

Let it therefore be resolved, that the ASUCI Senate calls for a Special Election to fill all vacant seats on Senate, at a date to be determined by Elections Commission and,

 

Let it also be resolved, that the First Year special interest seat will be filled by appointment as no candidate can currently fulfill the GPA requirement.
