Citrus students casted 132 ballots in voting for positions of ASCC’s 2023-2024 president, vice president, student trustee and senators.
Brian Kwokon Tong was elected as ASCC president with 48 votes. Yuxiang (Charles) Zhu was elected as ASCC vice president with 104 votes. Sabrina Soriano was elected as student trustee with 78 votes. The elected ASCC senators include Alay Escandon (40), Marco Luna (44), Guadalupe Guzman (53), Alex Liu (58), Laura Lopez (50), Lei (Jennifer) Huang (72) and Ren Fujimaru (48).
This year’s voter turnout increased dramatically compared to the 52 voters in the 2022-2023 ASCC election.
The Associated Student of Citrus College Constitution, Article IV says, the elective positions of the Associated Student of Citrus College include president, vice president, student trustee, legislative liaison and seven senators.
However, last election rules had to be changed to allow for these positions to be filled.
In the past, these positions required 50 votes to be elected. With this rule in the 2022-2023 elections, only one person made it into office.
If this rule had not been amended, four out of ten members and positions would be unfilled.
