The Columbia College Student Council and the Engineering Student Council announced election results for the 2021-22 academic year Monday morning. Less than 30 percent of the Columbia College and SEAS student bodies voted in student council elections this year. Over half of all CCSC races were unopposed; the same was true for over 75 percent of ESC races.

Despite five rules violations reported to the Columbia Elections Commission, only one candidate was found guilty of a “major” rules violation. Erick Zent, CC ’24 and a member of the Pantone Party, defied Article I, Section II of CEC’s guidelines, which discusses the proper routes of communication between candidates and the elections commission. As a result, Zent was stripped of 15 percent of his votes divided by the two candidates but still was victorious in his race.

This year, CCSC introduced the position of the religion representative. However, no candidate secured the win—about 40 percent of voters chose to abstain from voting in the religion representative election. Moving forward, a religion representative will be appointed by CCSC.
