UCLA undergraduate students will vote on 40 candidates and one referendum in the upcoming Undergraduate Students Association Council election.

Voting will open on the MyUCLA website May 3 at 2 p.m. and will close May 10 at 2 p.m. The USA Elections Board will announce the results May 10 at 8 p.m. The elections board and the Daily Bruin will co-host candidate debates May 1-2 at 6 p.m. in the De Neve Auditorium.

Referendum

The Establishing Meaningful Bruin Resources, Activities, Community & Experiences referendum, if passed, will impose a $24 increase to the student union fee, raising the overall fee from $23 to $47.

If passed, the referendum would establish a Disability Cultural Resource Center in Ackerman Union, subsidize the cost of food at UCLA stores, increase student wages by $1 and fund a Graduate Student Support Program.

For the EMBRACE referendum to pass, 20% of undergraduate students must vote in the election, and 50% of those voters must approve the referendum. Last year’s election saw a 23% undergraduate student turnout.
