Voting opens at 7 a.m. on March 26 and closes at 8 p.m. on March 27 on the UP portal. With so many tickets running, there will likely be a run off between the final two presidential tickets, which will be on April 2 - 3.

 

Resolutions
Resolution 12-09
Yes: Voting yes would reallocate 90% of ASUP's unspent funds each semester into the following se- mester's Major Project Fund to be spent on physical improvements or large events, the remaining 10% being contributed into the ASUP endowment.
No: Voting no would continue to allocate 100% of ASUP's unspent funds into the ASUP endowment, causing the interest gained off the endowment's prin- cipal in future years to grow at a much faster rate.


Resolution 13-01
Yes: Voting yes allows ASUP to hold spring elec- tions in the month of March. This would grant more flexibility in holding elections, and would allow for higher candidate participation and voter awareness.
No: Voting no would maintain the current spring elections deadline of the fourth week of March, which realistically places elections in mid-February.


Resolution 13-03
Yes: Voting yes would increase the student govern- ment fee from $70 to $85, dedicating the newly gen- erated $100,000 per year to major events on campus, such as concerts or entertainers.
No: Voting no would not increase the student gov- ernment fee, and would lead to future major concerts not being feasible.


Resolution 13-05
Yes: Voting yes would increase the eligibility re- quirement for the ASUP vice president from ten weeks as an ASUP Senator to two semesters.
No: Voting no would maintain the eligibility re- quirement for the ASUP vice president as having served ten weeks as an ASUP senator.
