Meet your DSU elections candidates for 2015/16

March 10, 2015 /

While the campaign season doesn’t begin until Thursday, we can still take a look at the names of the people running in this month’s Dalhousie Student Union elections.

The below list was shared with the Gazette by Dylan Ryan, Chief Returning Officer of the elections committee, on March 9.

The list differs from a list we previously published that was sent to us on March 7, due to new nomination forms being discovered on the incorrect desk yesterday, according to the elections committee, and disqualifications of some students who were absent from yesterday’s mandatory meeting for all candidates without giving notice.

While there are more candidates in total this year than any previous election in over a decade, this is also the first time since 2003 that two executive positions have had just one nominee.
