Alyssa Kerr and Helen Yiling Fu received 54 and 44 votes.

All uncontested positions were elected, with the most notable margin being Brandon Liu’s election at 84 Yes votes to 60 No votes and 17 spoiled ballots. This is compared to Yolanda Alfaro’s election last year with 161 Yes votes against 17 No votes and 28 spoiled ballots.

Of note is the passing of the referendum in favour of creating a new representative for international students. The referendum passed with 128 Yes votes and 17 No votes, with 4 spoiled ballots. This position would be open exclusively to international students and will be elected in the next academic year.

As a final addendum, the position of Innis College Director for the UTSU is currently in its campaign period, and voting will commence soon. Be sure to vote in the upcoming election!

We at the Herald wish the future ICSS members a great next year, and will continue to cover their work in the future!
