Pre-Game Show: Faris Lehn

Faris Lehn, candidate for the BOA has also stepped up on the Sfuo Blog Stage.

He is surprised by the alledgedly low voting turnout, especially with the BOA elections. He has also pointed out that many people who vote for the BOA don't actually check off the number of candidates they are entitled to. For instance, Social sciences has six seats. According to Lehn, many people will only check off 2-3 names.

Interesting outcome ahead.

He also raised a good point on the amount of candidates potentially running for the SFUO Presidential by-elections in March. Many failed BOA candidates might throw their hats in the ring to challenge Haldenby.

I will talk more about this later on tonight, but on a multi-multi-multi name ballot, where people have to scratch off 5-6-7 names out of 10-11-12, does the order in which the name appear affect the outcome?

Ryan Kennery raised the concern last week when he pointed out that he was seventh on the ballot.
