Eight Students Elected to UC in Midterm Elections

Eight students were elected to the Undergraduate Council after the voting period for midterm elections closed Friday. Out of those students, six are new to the Council.

Last week, the UC Elections Commission decided to push the deadline for declarations of candidacy back 12 hours after only a handful of students had submitted them, according to Elections Commission Chair Matthew C. Estes ’18. Seventeen students ran in total.
