The undergraduate student government voted to adopt the Election Board’s endorsement reform proposal with minor amendments with a vote of 11-0-0 at its meeting Tuesday night.

The undergraduate student government election reform proposals will go to council for a vote tonight, after the Election Board’s proposal received a recommendation from the subcommittee responsible for reviewing election code changes, while the council president’s proposal did not.

USAC President David Bocarsly and USAC Election Board chair Dana Pede will join Daily Bruin senior staffer Jillian Beck at 7 p.m. to discuss their differing proposals to reform the endorsement process of undergraduate student government elections.

The push for undergraduate student government election reform – spurred by the abuse of loopholes in last year’s election that resulted in the misrepresentation of several student group endorsements – is coming to a crossroads this week.

The undergraduate student government president plans to propose getting rid of the official elections endorsement process, a move that goes against the Election Board’s own proposal for election code reform.

The main subject raised at the forum was the reformation of the candidate endorsement. The randomization of candidate order on ballots and means of increasing publicity and student involvement in elections to boost voter turnout were also discussed.

More than one quarter into the school year, promises of undergraduate student government election reform still remain unfulfilled as election officials wait to hear student input from an open forum scheduled for next week.
