ASUC Elections 2023

Despite an increase in the number of candidates in the past ASUC election, previous candidates noted that a lack of resources was not a problem they faced in their campaigns. 

Bolstered by a rise in voter turnout, both referenda on the 2023 ASUC ballot passed Friday night and secured funds for public transportation and the Graduate Assembly.

Despite recent conversations surrounding the merits of political parties within the ASUC, ElevateCal secured two major positions within the ASUC executive slate at Friday’s tabulation ceremony. 

The results fpr the 2023 ASUC Senate elections were announced at 6 p.m. Friday during a tabulation ceremony held in Dwinelle Hall. With remarkable turnout, 46 candidates competed for the 20 available senate seats, posing a significant challenge to all contenders. Of these, an overwhelming 32 ran as independents, while 10 ran with ElevateCal and four ran with the Progressives at Cal party. 

We have now reached the conclusion of this year's elections cycle with the annual tabulations ceremony, held in Dwinelle Hall, Room 155, on Friday at 6 p.m.
