A campus wide email was sent to all California State University, Bakersfield students Wednesday April 6 at 8 a.m. to vote fort this years Associated Student Incorporated elections.  

708 students voted and there was a 7.6% voter turnout according to ASI Elections Coordinator, Jason Watkins. This year’s voter turnout was much higher than the previous year’s percentage being at 2.6% of the student body.  

However, ASI is still waiting on the outcome of the election for Vice President of Finance that resulted in a separate run-off election between Erick Plata Torres and Julissa Chavana. A run-off election was necessary in this case, because of the three candidates running with no candidates scoring a voting percentage of 50%.  

With three initial candidates running for the position, Torres received a 48.9% of votes just barely missing the winning percentage of 50% that would have made him the outright winner. Julissa Chavana scoring 27.3% and Daniel Albiar 23.8%
