| I know this is a circular arument, but really what is the point of voting if 7% of the students don't even vote? [ Parent ]

How can someone decline to vote in the referendum? Online, I was given two options: Stay or leave. There was no decline option.
Why would someone (53 actually) decline to answer a 1 question referendum? Was there another question being asked to a certain faculty or something?
Or did people show up at polling stations, give their name and say "I'm not voting either way".
I must be missing something here...[ Parent ]

This campaign was so boring, I thought a FEDS exec election was happening. There were hardly any posters about it. I mean, I know exactly what the rainbow reels poster looks like, what the colourful FEDS exec posters from the Ma/Omar campaign looked like, but have no idea what a CASA referendum poster looks like.
I actually did go out to a debate and it lasted 15 minutes at which point Liam said "I don't want to debate anymore". Now there's conviction![ Parent ]

"Feds may postpone March CASA referendum 20 Mar 2004"
I don't know if its a bug or a typing mistake, but it should probably not be March. Since well ya know that hasn't arrived yet. Although it would be interesting if FEDS could in the future postpone a referendum that has already taken place. creepy.
Oh and also when you hit the preview comment before putting in a headline, sometimes it inserts a number of breakpoints (I can't remember my HTML to make the breakpoint tag appear without being a tag) that make the spacing kind of screwy. No big deal though.

No one cares about this stuff, that's why no one voted! Who has time to worry about this when they got midterms, assignments, essays and exams to worry about!?
I don't care about this at all, won't make me get my degree any sooner or anything.[ Parent ]

"The option of leaving CASA got a non-binding majority by less than two votes, according to results released around noon today."
Uh, no. The non-binding majority was greater than 50.19%. When you're calculating the majority, you DON'T COUNT THE DECLINED BALLOTS.
For leaving: 385
For staying: 329
Total: 714
385/714 = 53.9%
329/714 = 46.1%
uwstudent.org has revealed its bias (once again). Ah well, at least the results weren't binding (as expected).[ Parent ]
