After about a month of campaigning and last week’s debate, students may officially begin voting for who they want to be their next Student Government president.

Voting begins at 7 a.m. today and will continue until the polls close at 6:59 p.m. Tuesday. Students can vote online at lsu.edu/sgelections after logging into their myLSU accounts.

T Graham S. Howell and Kaitlin Torké’s Impact LSU ticket is facing off against John Woodard and Taylor Parks’ Unite LSU ticket.Howell said he and Torké are excited about this week’s election.

“The general feeling among everyone on our staff is excitement rather than worry or fear,” Howell said. “We’re ready.”

Woodard said he and Parks are anticipating good voter turnout.

“Taylor and I are excited about how the next few days are going to turn out,” Woodard said.

Howell acknowledged that many students do not vote, but he said he hopes voter turnout in this election will improve.

“We realize that a lot of people don’t vote,” Howell said. “We have 26 great ideas that are going to make people care, and if they can give us that year in office, we are going to show them what Student Government can do for them.”

Woodard said he wants unlikely voters in this election to take to the polls.

“I think that in any election, it’s your opportunity to make a difference and have your voice heard,” Woodard said.

The results of the election will be announced at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
