ASUI Elections Coordinator Mackenzie Lawrence announced Jacob Lockhart and Faustine Moulton as president and vice-president for the 2019-2020 academic year Wednesday night, with 1,447 votes recorded.
Director of Student Involvement Shawn O’Neal said this was the lowest number of votes in “quite some time.”
Lockhart said winning the election is an absolute honor and a humbling opportunity.
“The incredible outpouring of support has been overwhelming, and we couldn’t be more excited to serve this incredible student body,” Lockhart said. “As far as what comes next — four weeks of rigorous transition time in preparation for our swearing in.”
In order of least to most votes, Reilly Dahlquist, Jeff LaSorella, Logan Heflin, Juan Carlos Gastelum, Connor Dahlquist, Michael Sikorski, Mary Alice Taylor and Laura Hannon were elected to the eight open ASUI Senate seats.

Hannon, who received the most votes, will serve as the most senior member of the Senate with ranking order of senators determined by the number of votes received.
Hannon said Lockhart and Moulton both seem like amazing people and great leaders.
“I look forward to getting to know them better while working on out shared goals for the university,” Hannon said. “I appreciate their dedication to putting Vandals first.”
