Associated Students presented the final results from the Spring 2025 election at Shores Diner tonight. All results are final, except for three runoff elections for A.S. President, Vice President of External Affairs, and Vice President of Academic Affairs.
The ballot for undergraduates included votes to fill 15 positions total. This included five positions on the A.S. Cabinet: President, Executive Vice President, Vice President of External Affairs, and Vice President of Academic Affairs. There were also 10 positions to fill on the A.S. Senate: five Campus-Wide Senators, two Off-Campus Senators, two Transfer Senators, one International Senator, and one Out-of-State Senator.
If no candidate receives over 50% of the vote in any of the races, the two candidates with the most votes will enter a runoff election, which will take place during Week 3.
Both graduate and undergraduate students also voted on the PRESS referendum — a quarterly student fee of $3.50 to fund the operations of The UCSD Guardian. Eighth College students also voted on the Eighth College Student Activity Fee Referendum, a quarterly student fee of $14 to fund its events.
