Cut to the Sugarhouse, 7pm, on Friday 6th March. After the excitement of hustings earlier in the week, there was an air of tension as FTO and PTO candidates waited anxiously for the results of the election.
While SCAN live-streamed the event as it occurred (which you can find here), here’s a run-down of the results and votes cast. Check out the linked interviews to discover what exactly our new FTOs and PTOs plan to do with their time in the Union.
Onwards, to the results!
