Elections Week Update: “Can we wait until tomorrow?”

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we love (and hate) you tomorrow, as we’re only one day away from the biggest battle of 2013. Each candidate is in top form to launch their massive propaganda machines and convince the masses of St Andrews that they can adequately lead our little empire to victory in 2014. Enjoy your last hours of freedom, St Andrews, before we’re bombed with posters, peppered with pamphlets, and held hostage by the ever-present banners sure to hang on Market Street.

Today’s updates are strangely unexciting; the Association President is still the only contested Sabbatical Officer. Mark Hamid has entered his name into consideration for the position, and the SRC saw seven new nominations. The SSC however, has only seen two. The most contested position so far is the Association Environment and Ethics Officer. Check out the cumulative candidates lists:
