First off, why didn't Cal Poly Pomona introduce an e-voting system like Cal Poly San Luis Obispo? The voting turnout would've been higher if that was what the ASI Elections cared about.

The ASI Elections Committee along with Reyes Luna, ASI elections advisor, finished totaling the votes Thursday by around 9:15 p.m., according to Scott Deano, ASI elections chair. Deano said the appropriate figureheads and news sources were notified by 10 p.m.
"ASI elections was not concerned about a yes or a no vote, we were concerned about voter turnout," said Deano. "We wanted to fight voter apathy, get students aware of the issues, get students out there voting." |
Did you guys notice the proposed tuition increase for Cal Poly SLO is $65 per quarter but Cal Poly Pomona increase was going to be $149 per quarter?
