WWW.MICH IGAN DAILY.COM/ CSG looks at plurality vote LSA-SG to hold elections Wed.

This may not seem sig- nificant, but if last year's elections are any indica- tor - current CSG President Manish Parikh received just over 30 percent of the total vote - this year's presidential election - with five presiden- tial candidates may result in 7 1 1the winner receiving nothing close to a majority of the votes 8 5 1 7 cast. This plurality vote is in con- trast to conventional demo- 8 5 2 cratic elections, in which the winning candidate almost 3 1 6 5 2 8 always receives a majority of the popular vote. 8 5 7 CSG Program Director Anika Awai-Williams said this difference in voting pro- 7 8 5 3 cedure seems strange because the legislative, judiciary and 1 7 executive systems of CSG were changed in 2010 to pur- 3 '5 1 posely mirror the federal gov- ernment. In addition to the pattern of plurality in CSG elections, overall student turnout for CSG elections at the Universi- ty has traditionally been under 20 percent. This means that in last year's elections, less than 7 percent of the entire student population voted for Parikh, a Ross senior. Parikh said the lack of stu- dent support in CSG elections is not as bad as it seems, con- sidering most university elec- tions around the country only have an 8-to-10-percent stu- dent turnout. He's especially optimistic about this year's CSG elections - because of promotion of the assembly voter turnout will be between 25 and 30 percent. He added that if participa- tion continues to increase, in seven or eight years the Uni- versity could have an election turnout similar to U.S. presi- dential elections. In the event that student participation does not con- tinue to rise, both Parikh and Awai-Williams said they would be open to the idea of a new election system that would include primary elec- tions. This would ensure the elected CSG president receives a majority of votes. "I think that would be a great discussion to have in the assembly in regards to possi- bly updating the constitution to reflect that type of system," Awai-Williams said. Though Parikh does have his doubts about how feasible such a system would be for CSG executive elections, he agrees with Awai-Williams. "It's definitely an interest- ing idea, and I think that it can be tested for the future," Parikh said.
