After a week of online voting, members of the Associated Students of Michigan State University, or ASMSU, 57th General Assembly Session were announced Tuesday.
Candidates in this election had to run their campaign virtually, with concerns from ASMSU members that being away from campus would result in lower turnout.
Even if someone is running unopposed, the candidate still needs a minimum number of votes to get a seat, many colleges require 25, and others measure by the percent of student turnout.
There are currently 19 open seats in the General Assembly, and a pilot fall election will be held in order to fill them.
Here are the elected college representatives:
College of Agricultural and Natural Resources (3 seats)
Emma Grant (198).
Blake Lajiness (114).
Max Toll (114).
College of Arts and Letters (2 seats)
Matt Apostle (161).
College of Business (4 seats)
Maria Kakos (230).
Tim Morris (190).
College of Communication Arts and Sciences (3 seats)
Jack Harrison (211).
College of Education (2 seats)
Aaron Iturralde (76).
College of Engineering (3 seats)
