Five students at the Richmond campus, where a polling station was open in the rotunda from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, were asked if they were going to vote in this year’s KSA by-election. Langley students will be the last to cast their votes Thursday, Oct. 30.

“No. I didn’t even know it was happening before I saw [the polling booths]. I wouldn’t know what I’m voting for.”

“I’m not planning on voting in the KSA by-elections because it’s so wrought with controversy and bad leadership and our fees are going nowhere. I just don’t really feel like I need to participate in something like that.”

“To be honest, to be perfectly honest, no. I don’t know enough about them and I also believe that it’s a little bit isolated, like every time I go to the KSA office its very group orientated and it feels like isolated from the group.”

    I’m sorry to hear that there are people who feel that way. To be honest though, and I feel bad about this, but I haven’t even gotten out to vote! The day I could have voted – it slipped my mind that the polls were open that day on Surrey.

    We have tried to make information available about the positions available and the candidates running for those positions. Certainly we can and will do more to make sure that people know about other things we are doing – cause we are doing a lot.
