Forty-Two Win Seats on Undergraduate Council

Forty-two students won election for a seat on the Undergraduate Council during this academic year, after results were announced Friday afternoon by UC Election Commission Chair Matthew C. Estes ’18.

Of the 42 newly-elected representatives, 12 are freshmen—three from each of the four freshman yards. Sixteen sophomores were elected, along with 10 juniors and four seniors. Of the 30 sophomores, juniors, and seniors who were chosen to serve on the Council this term, two-thirds of them have previously served on the UC.

A total of 1,820 undergraduates (about 30 percent) voted in the election, which began Monday. Of those who voted, 894—just under half of the total voting population—were freshmen. Crimson Yard saw the highest voter turnout, with 243 votes, while Currier House had the highest voter turnout among the Houses, with 171 total votes.
